Spinach And Feta Crepes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 -3 bunches spinach
    1 onion, finely chopped
    feta cheese, crumbled (as much as you like)
    1/2 cup grated romano cheese or 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    1 carton ricotta cheese, small carton
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    salt
    freshly ground black pepper
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    CREPES
    125 g all-purpose flour
    1 pinch salt
    2 eggs
    1 1/4 cups milk
    3 teaspoons butter, melted
    oil (for frying)
Preparation
    Wash spinach and remove stalks.
    Place in bowl and microwave for a very short time- divide the spinach leaves into 2-3 bunches, cover and cook a bunch at a time.
    Spinach should be limp.
    Drain well- squeeze as much liquid from cooked spinach as you can.
    Chop roughly.
    Add finely chopped onion, the Feta, Romano and Ricotta Cheese.
    Mix well.
    Add ground nutmeg, salt and pepper.
    Add lightly beaten egg.
    Set aside.
    CREPES-----------------.
    Method: Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
    Add eggs and a little milk.
    Beat well.
    Add the remaining milk and lastly the melted butter.
    Heat oil in crepe pan (or use spray).
    Pour about 3-4 tablespoons of crepe mixture into pan- enough to cover the base of the pan thinly and evenly.
    Cook over high heat for about 1 minute until mixture looks as though it is setting on the top and the underneath is lightly browned.
    Turn crere over and cook the other side for about 1/2 a minute.
    Remove from pan and place on piece of waxed paper.
    Continue until all the crepe mixture is used up.
    This recipe should yield approx.
    12 crepes.
    Place wax paper between crepes as you remove each one from the pan.
    ASSEMBLE THE CREPES------------.
    Place even amounts of Spinach mixture in the centre of each crepe.
    Fold crepe into a'parcel' and place in lightly greased baking dish.
    I usually have enough mixture for 8 crepes.
    Over the crepes spoon some Italian Tomato Sauce (easy to make)- onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
    And then sprinkle lots of grated mozarella cheese!
    Place in moderate oven about 15-20 minutes.
    This recipe may seem fidley to some or alot of work but it's not really- believe me.
    The recipe is always nicer a day old and re-heated.
    Typing the recipe out has got my salivary glands going- I think I'll have to make it soon again.
    Cooked, diced chicken can also be added to the Spinach mixture.
