Olive oil is healthier and adds a distinct flavor.

Add 4 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour into a blender.

Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth and lump-free to make the crepe batter.

Preheat a crepe pan.

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt to spread evenly.

Cook for about 1 minute until edges turn golden brown, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

In a large frying pan, drizzle olive oil and add 1 lb of ground beef, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the ground beef for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned.

Grate onion and add it to the beef, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Measure out 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and mix it with the beef and onion mixture, adding 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill.

Scoop a portion of the meat mixture into the center of a crepe, fold over the sides to form a pocket.

Pan fry the pockets in a little butter for a couple of minutes on each side until heated through.
