    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

STEPS

1

Whisk 4 eggs and ¼ teaspoon salt together in a bowl; gradually whisk in flour, alternating with milk, until smooth. Whisk in melted butter; refrigerate batter for at least 1 hour.

2

Heat a small skillet over medium heat; brush skillet with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Pour about ¼ cup batter into it, swirl to coat. Cook until bottom is golden brown, flip, and cook the other side. Stack cooked crêpes between wax paper.

3

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

4

Combine ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, parsley, green onion, 2 eggs, onion powder, oregano, and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl until mixed.

5

Spread 1 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 1 crêpe on a flat surface, fill with 3 tablespoons filling, roll, and arrange in the dish. Repeat with remaining crêpes. Top with marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 20–30 minutes.
