Ingredients
Batter

- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 6 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup water, plus more if needed
Filling
- 1/2 onion - diced
- Olive Oil
- Meatballs - chopped into small pieces (homemade or store bought can use sausage)
- 1 basket Crimini Mushrooms - sliced
- 1 Bag Fresh Spinach - chopped
- 5-6 Sun dried tomatoes - sliced
- Feta Cheese - crumbled
Topping
- Kalamata Olives - sliced
- 1-2 Haas Avocados - sliced

Homemade Mac Nut Pesto
- 1/2 cup unsalted Macadamia Nuts
- 3-4 Garlic Cloves - peeled
- 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Bunch Cilantro - remove stems
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese - grated
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Tools
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Mixing bowls
- Crepe pan
- Saucepan
- Double boiler
Directions
- Start by making the homemade pesto so it's set for a few minutes before using.
- For the crepe batter: Combine the flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and water.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until smooth. Add water, if needed - the consistency should be thin, not as thick as pancake batter.
- Heat your crepe pan over medium heat and grease with a bit of butter or oil.
- Add about ¾ cup of batter to the hot pan and tilt the pan until it’s evenly coated.
- Once it bubbles for about a minute, use a spatula to gently lift it up, check that the center is set, and carefully flip.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it easily lifts from the pan. Continue with the remaining batter.
- To serve: Place a spoonful or two of the filling and feta cheese in the bottom ⅓ of a crepe and carefully roll it up.
- Place it seam side down onto a plate, drizzle with the Pesto, and top it off with some sliced avocado, kalamata olives and tomatoes. Sprinkle a pinch of Maldon Salt on top. Bon appetit!
