Terrible, gummy crepes with a bitter aftertaste. Try the david leibovitz crepe recipe with the buckwheat flour instead, it is foolproof. Also, the veggies would be much better in a bechamel or mornay sauce prior to stuffing in the crepe.

¾ cup cold lager
2 eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups sautéed sliced mushrooms
1 cup grated gruyère cheese
4 cups baby spinach

Cook until crêpe is lightly browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes; fold crêpe in half over fillings, place a fried egg on one side of the folded crêpe, and then fold again to sandwich the egg in the crêpe.
