Canneloni Crepes
Crepes:
1 egg
3/4 cup skim milk
2/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp oil
non-stick cooking spray
Mix egg, milk, flour, salt, and oil. Refrigerate batter 1 hour. Coat bottom of an 8-inch pan nonstick pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat until just hot, not smoking. Pour 2 tablespoons batter into pan. Quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan in a thin film; cook 1 minute. Lift edge of crepe to test for doneness. Crepe is ready for flipping when it can be shaken loose from pan. Flip the crepe, cook 30 seconds on the other side. Stack don crepes between layers of waxed paper to prevent sticking. Repeat until all batter is used. Makes 10 crepes.

Wipe pan drippings from skillet, and return beef there. Drain thawed spinach well, with a colander and then place on paper towels. Add to meat mixture, along with wine, beaten egg, Parmesan, basil, oregano, and salt; stir well.
