Author's Notes

If your batter seems too thick after it has been in the fridge, try adding more milk ¼ cup at a time until it reaches the right consistency.

If you want to add more flavor to your zucchini, feel free to season it with cumin, chili powder, or seasonings of your choice.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
step 2
To a medium mixing bowl, combine Milk (480 mL), Eggs (3), and Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp). Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
step 3
Sift the Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (275 g) into the wet mixture. Add Kosher Salt (1/4 tsp) to the batter and combine until the batter is thick and no lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
step 4
Using a peeler, slice Zucchini (1) into thin strips. Add strips into a large bowl and toss with Salt (1 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp), and Olive Oil (2 Tbsp).
step 5
Lay dressed zucchini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until tender.
step 6
Blend the Tomatillos (4), Garlic (2 cloves), Fresh Basil (20 g), Olive Oil (3 Tbsp), Lemon Juice (1 Tbsp), and Jalapeño Pepper (1) in a food processor or blender.
step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste, I added a pinch of Salt (to taste). Blend seasoning in, then set aside.
step 8
Heat a heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat until pan is warm. Paint the bottom of the pan with Cooking Oil (as needed). Ladle batter right into the center of the pan and swirl to distribute the batter evenly. Cook until the edges are beginning to brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
step 9
With a long spatula or offset flip the crepe over and cook until the other side is lightly golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
step 10
Once it's cooked, slide the crepe out of the skillet onto a parchment-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the finished crepes on top of one another.
step 11
Spread Ricotta Cheese (240 g), spoon some salsa on the crepe, and then lay the cooked zucchini on top.
step 12
Fold the Gluten-Free Crepe into a square - fold the top, sides, and then bottom with an exposed center. Serve with more salsa and Squash Blossoms (to taste) if desired.
