Crepes are both super sat­is­fy­ing and incred­i­bly easy to make at home. All you need is a solid recipe for the bat­ter, some tasty fill­ings, and a good non-stick pan. 

The best thing about crepes, in my opin­ion, is their abil­ity to do dou­ble duty as both a sweet, fruit, or choco­late-based dish, but also as a savory break­fast or lunch option with things like spinach, cheese, and ham inside. I always keep my bat­ter neu­tral, so I can use them in mul­ti­ple ways when­ever I make them. This bat­ter will keep well in the refrig­er­a­tor, and I like to make it once or twice a week so I always have some on hand in case I need to throw together break­fast or a mid-day snack. 

Use a light-bod­ied, fruit-for­ward extra vir­gin olive oil in the bat­ter for this recipe. It will add a touch of olive fla­vor while remain­ing more neu­tral should you want to use any left­overs for dessert. Save the richer, fuller-bod­ied extra vir­gin olive oil for the fill­ing, which will help accen­tu­ate the roasted onions and spinach while mel­low­ing the tart, salty feta cheese.
