1
Make and Cook Crepes
In a blender, combine the milk, flour, eggs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to rest. Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Pour in about half a cup of batter, tilting the pan so it spreads evenly. Cook until the bottom turns golden, around 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula, then use your fingers to flip the crepe and cook for another minute. Slide the crepe out onto a plate and keep stacking them as you go, spraying the pan between each one.

Saut Spinach and Chicken
In another skillet, melt some butter over medium-high heat. Toss in the spinach and shallots and cook until they’re soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, stirring everything together until heated through, which should take another 3 to 4 minutes. Set this mixture aside.
3
Fill and Fold Crepes
Spread about 2 tablespoons of Brie cheese on each crepe, spoon on some of the chicken and spinach mixture, then fold the crepe in half. Pop it back into the skillet just long enough for the cheese to melt. Once warmed through, take it out and roll it up into a cone shape. Enjoy!

Storage Tips
Store leftover crepes and filling separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the filling gently on the stove and warm the crepes in a dry pan or microwave before assembling. Avoid storing pre-assembled crepes to keep them from getting soggy.
