Ingredients 

  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, , stems removed
  • 4 large eggs, , at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, , divided, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 3 medium size assorted summer squash, , cut in half moon slices
  • Grated zest of ½ lemon
  • 4-6 mint leaves, , chopped
  • 1 cup plain, , unsweetened Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative, optional

Instructions 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge spinach into cold water. Once cool, put spinach in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. You will need ⅓ cup tightly packed drained spinach.
  • In a food processor, combine spinach, eggs, 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Process until smooth.
  • Oil a large skillet and set over medium heat. Ladle scant ⅓ cup of batter into skillet and quickly spread it out in a thin layer to coat base of skillet. You can do this by tilting the skillet. Cook until the top of crêpe is set, about 1 minute, then turn over carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for another 15-30 seconds. Remove to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Add squash, salt, and pepper to taste and cook until tender, about 8-12 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in grated lemon zest and mint.
  • Put some filling in center of each crêpe, dot with yogurt, if using, and roll up to serve. Eat immediately.
