Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
Don't overcook the crepes. They should be cooked until they are just set and slightly browned around the edges.
Be careful when flipping the crepes. They are delicate and can easily tear.
If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular skillet. Just make sure to heat it over medium-low heat and grease it well.
For a richer filling, add some cooked bacon or sausage to the spinach mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all great options.
Serve the crepe cups immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
