This brunch dish is absolutely delicious served with hollandaise sauce. To save time in the morning, prepare the crêpe batter the night before.

6tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

6 large eggs

1½ cups buckwheat flour

½cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon sea salt Filling:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red onion, chopped

2½ pounds (40 ounces) baby spinach 1¼ teaspoons sea salt

½teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

12 large eggs

1 to 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

8 ounces soft goat cheese

Put the milk, butter and eggs into the jar of your Cuisinart® PowerEdge™ 1000 Watt Blender. Run on Low for 20 seconds. Add the flours and salt; cover and run on High until smooth and completely combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl; cover and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.

While the crêpe batter is chilling, prepare the filling: Put the oil into a large skillet and place over medium heat.

Add the spinach a handful at a time, salt and pepper, and sauté until bright and wilted, about 9 minutes total. Reserve filling.
