Number Of Ingredients 8

1 batch Basic Crepe Batter (makes 6 crepes)
1 lb raw spinach, washed thoroughly to remove sand, discard stems and heavy veins
1 cup lean ham, finely chopped
3 TBS heavy cream
1 TBS Parmesan Cheese, grated
1 TBS cornstarch dissolved in 2 TBS cold water
pinch of salt
pinch of nutmeg

Steps:

1. Cook spinach about 5 minutes in boiling water; drain. 2. Place half of chopped ham in a food processor. Add the spinach, cream, salt, and nutmeg, and blend until pureed. 3. Return the puree to a clean saucepan and add the remainder of the ham. Stir over a low heat until thick. If puree appears too thin, add 1 TBS cornstarch dissolved in 2 TBS cold water, and it will thicken immediately. 4. Spread the ham and spinach puree on a crepe. Roll crepe and place in an oiled, ovenproof dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Heat for 15 minutes in a 400F oven. Allow cheese to brown slightly under the broiler. May be served with Mornay or Hollandaise Sauce. Makes 6 crepes. Each crepe = 3 Weight Watchers points.
