Ingredients

3 eggs
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
12 ounces fresh goat cheese
3/4 cup roasted sweet red peppers
1 tablespoon plus 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
1 pound smoked salmon fillets
2 cups fresh baby spinach
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
Optional garnishes: additional fresh goat cheese, capers and dill

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and water. Combine the wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the goat cheese, red peppers, lemon juice, paprika and garlic; cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 1/4 cup batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between.
Spread 2 tablespoons cheese mixture down the center of each crepe. Top each with salmon, spinach, capers and dill; roll up. Garnish with additional cheese, capers and dill if desired.
