Instructions
Step 1
In a blender, combine the spinach leaves with a small amount of milk. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with the salt and sugar until frothy.
Gradually add the flour, stirring until smooth while incorporating the milk.
Combine the batter with the spinach puree and mix well.
Stir in the vegetable oil and boiling water, ensuring the batter is well combined.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in a ladle of batter to form a pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat until all batter is used.
Step 4
For the roll, stack 6 pancakes slightly overlapping on a clean surface.
In a separate bowl, whip together the cream cheese with the heavy cream until smooth.
Spread this mixture evenly over the pancakes, then layer slices of smoked fish on top.
Carefully fold the edges of the pancakes over the filling and roll tightly into a log.
Step 5
Wrap the pancake roll tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate overnight to set and enhance the flavors.
Step 6
The next morning, whip the cheese with the remaining heavy cream until fluffy, then spread over the top of the roll.
Garnish with cheese, caviar, and fresh spinach leaves for an elegant presentation.
Step 7
Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and enjoy this delightful spring appetizer!
Servings
Equipment
A high-speed blender will help you achieve a smooth spinach puree, which is essential for the vibrant color and flavor in your batter.



A good quality non-stick skillet is key for cooking your crepes evenly without sticking. Remember to grease it lightly each time you pour in the batter!


Use bowls of varying sizes for mixing the batter and the cream cheese filling to keep things organized.
A whisk is great for blending the eggs and sugar until frothy, making your crepes light and airy.



Variations
Vegan Variation: To make this entirely plant-based, swap out the eggs with a flaxseed mixture, use a plant-based cream cheese, and choose your favorite vegan alternative for the salmon. It will still be colorful and delicious! 🌱

- What can I use if I don't have a blender?
If you don’t have a blender, you can finely chop the spinach and whisk together your batter by hand. Just ensure there are no lumps!
- Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the crepes and filling the night before. Just assemble the roll-up before serving for the freshest taste!
- How do I know if my crepes are cooked properly?
Your crepes should be lightly golden on both sides. It's best to adjust your cooking time and temperature based on your stovetop for perfect results!
- Can I use other fillings besides salmon?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like smoked turkey, assorted vegetables, or even a sweet filling for a dessert twist!
- What if my roll-up tears while wrapping it?
Don’t worry! A little tearing is normal. Just patch it up with some cream cheese filling to keep it together.
- How can I store leftovers?
Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. They should last for about 2 days!
