Method
 

Preparation
  1. Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?Yes! Just thaw and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  2. Can this dish be made ahead of time?Absolutely. Assemble the crêpes and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
  3. What’s a good substitute for cream cheese?Ricotta, mascarpone, or herbed goat cheese all work well.
  4. Can I freeze the baked crêpes?Yes, once cooled. Wrap portions individually and reheat in the oven.
  5. Is this dish kid-friendly?Very much so—it's creamy, mild, and easy to eat.
  6. Can I make the crêpes gluten-free?Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or buckwheat flour for a rustic flavor.
  7. What if I don’t have mozzarella?Any melting cheese like cheddar, gouda, or Emmental works great.
  8. How do I avoid soggy crêpes?Drain your spinach well and don’t overfill the crêpes with too much sauce.
  9. Can I use store-bought crêpes?You can! Just make sure they're not sweetened and warm them slightly before rolling.
  10. Is béchamel sauce necessary?It’s what brings the dish together, but you could also use a tomato-based sauce or skip it for a lighter version.
