I’ve officially been a second year psychiatry resident for a week now, and worked two 24 calls in that timeframe! Wow! It’s really fulfilling to think about where I was a year ago and how far I’ve come. And those 24 hour calls mean I have the following “post-call” day off – for sleeping and eating of course 🙂 And for whatever reason, it’s been making me crave breakfast and brunch foods all day long!

Like these breakfast crepes for example. I mean, these are just superb, and I don’t mean that in a bragging way: I mean that in a “you need to make these as soon a humanly possible” way because they are filled and topped such creamy goodness I can’t even describe it with words.
Imagine:
Beautiful, simple, fresh cooked crepes.
Fill them with the world’s creamiest of creamiest scrambled eggs, complete with sharp white cheddar cheese. Mmmm. Oh wait, we’re not done? Oh, okay:
Top with a big dollop of spinach Greek yogurt sauce, just freshly made in your food processor.
Garnish with crispy green onions from the garden.
Okay now we can eat them!

Scrambled Egg Breakfast Crepes with Spinach Sauce

Serves 4
These savory breakfast crepes feature scrambled eggs and white cheddar cheese, and are topped with a creamy spinach sauce and fresh green onions.
Prep Time
35 min
Cook Time
20 min
Total Time
55 min
For crepes
- (Adapted from Alton Brown's recipe)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
For spinach sauce
- 3 large handfuls spinach
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- ⅛ tsp. kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp. ground white pepper
For scrambled eggs
- 8 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 4 oz. white cheddar, grated
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
- Prepare crepe batter according to Alton Brown's crepe recipe. Allow batter to rest in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- While crepe batter rests, prepare the spinach sauce.To a food processor, add spinach and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, salt, and white pepper. Pulse until well-combined, about 45-60 seconds.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and salt together.
- To make crepes, heat a flat nonstick crepe pan over medium-high heat. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan (you can adjust the amount of batter based on the width of your pan). Moving quickly, lift the pan off the heat and swirl it around at an angle until the bottom of the pan is evenly coated with a thin layer of the batter. Cook crepe for 30 seconds, then gently flick the pan back and forth until the crepe comes loose from the pan. Flip the crepe over and cook for 15 seconds. Use a spatula to remove the crepes to a plate. Keep warm while preparing eggs.
- In a large nonstick skillet heated over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add scrambled eggs mixture and cook slowly, using a spatula to scrape along the bottom of the pan as the eggs cook. The length of cooking time will vary based on size of your pan and your stove. When the eggs become creamy but not yet firmed up completely, add cheddar cheese and gently fold into the eggs, cooking for about 1-2 minutes more.
- To serve, place two crepes on a plate. Top each with a spoonful of the scrambled eggs and roll into a log shape. Top with spinach sauce and green onions. Enjoy!

We did these crepes today with the following: for the sauce Used radish greensand mixed greens which included spinach but also arugula and some others. I added lots of onion, 1T of Parmesan, of course Greek yogurt and lemon, no salt, it wasn’t necessary. Purées to a faretheewell. The sauce had real punch and my wife loved it. We will try this with variations— salmon, asparagus spears on eggs with paprika.. try with cilantro… thank you for opening this up to our imagination.
That sounds fantastic – I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and your variations sound delicious!
Made this for breakfast using some low carb crepes that I had on hand. Served with sides of bacon and tomato slices. Wonderful meal. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds great, Glenna! Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed it! What crepes did you use? I’ll have to try them!
