Step 4: Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter into the skillet and swirl the pan to coat it evenly. Cook the crêpe until lightly golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip the crêpe and cook for about 30 seconds longer. Transfer the crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep warm.
-
Step 5: In a medium bowl, toss the spinach with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
-
Step 6: Fold each crêpe in half. Dollop about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each crêpe. Add a portion of the spinach & tomato salad atop the cheese mixture. Fold the crêpe in half again. Repeat with remaining crêpes.

Step 7: *Optional: the spinach & tomato salad can be served over or beside the crêpes, instead of inside.
