Sift the flours together in a small bowl.

Insert the large metal chopping blade into the medium work

bowl of the Cuisinart

®

Food Processor

. With the machine

running, add the eggs through the feed tube. Add the flours

and salt and process until

just combined. W

ith the machine

running, add the milk and melted butter together through the

feed tube and process until homogenous. T

ransfer mixture to

a container, cover and r

efrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Insert the small metal chopping blade into the small work bowl

and pulse the onions to chop, about 5 times. Put the oil into a

large skillet and place over medium heat. Once the oil

shimmers across the pan, add the onion and sauté until

softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a

time, along with the salt and pepper, and sauté until bright

and wilted, about 9 minutes total. Reserve filling.

Poach the eggs: Pour water with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar

per every 4 quarts into a large saucepan. Place over high heat

and bring to a strong simmer

. Carefully add eggs by cracking

over the water – use a spatula to separate the eggs. Cook until

desired doneness. T

ransfer with slotted spoon to ice water to

stop cooking. Reserve.

Prepar

e the crêpes: Place an 8-inch skillet over medium heat

and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the

butter. Once melted, wipe the butter ar

ound the pan with a

paper towel. Add a scant ¼ cup of batter to the preheated pan. W

orking very

quickly, move the batter ar

ound so it just coats the bottom. You want the pan

to be coated thinly and evenly. After about 1 minute, when the cr

êpe is set

and lightly browned, flip the cr

êpe using a heatproof spatula, and cook for an

additional minute. Reserve on a plate. Continue with the remaining batter

,

stacking the crêpes as you go.

When all of the crêpes ar

e prepar

ed, cover plate with foil – to keep crêpes

warm, place plate over a skillet containing some water over medium-low heat.

T o serve cr

êpes:

Bring a small pot of water to a simmer to reheat poached eggs.

Each crêpe should be filled with ¼ cup of the spinach filling and

½ tablespoon of goat cheese. Fold each crêpe in half and lay one partially on

top of the other. Place the two cr

êpes on each plate and top with a reheated

poached egg.

Serve with Hollandaise Sauce (page 12) on the side.
