I've noticed that so far, most of the recipes we have posted are not healthy...and this one is no exception! I know- it says "spinach"- but with the cream and cheese I'm sure it isn't something to eat often. It is a little time consuming, but completely worth it- it is delicious!
To make Crepes...

for Baked Spinach Crepes...
Ingredients:
12 6 inch crepes (following recipe above)
2 beaten eggs
2 cups ricotta cheese (15 oz)
1 1/2 c shredded swiss cheese (6 oz)
1 10oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 1/2 c soft bread crumbs (from 3 slices bread)
1 c grated Parmesan cheese (separated into 1/2 c and 1/2 c)
1/4 tsp black pepper
Dash of garlic powder
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 c whipping cream
Directions:
1. Prepare crepes. In a bowl, combine eggs, ricotta, Swiss cheese, drained spinach, bread crumbs, 1/2 c Parmesan cheese, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
2. Spoon about 1/3 cup filling into center of each crepe; roll up.
3. Cut each rolled crepe crosswise into thirds. Place the pieces, cut side up, in a 2 quart baking dish (placing pieces close together will help them remain upright).
4. In a small saucepan melt butter; stir in cream and the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens slightly. Pour sauce over crepes.
5. Bake in a 400F oven for 18-20 min or until heated through.
Makes 36 appetizers, or 6 main-dish servings.
