Tangy lemon curd is spooned over these warm ricotta filled and poppy 
seed studded crêpes. They are light, colorful, and perfect for an 
Easter brunch and buffet.

In a small heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs, lemon juice, and agave. 
Set the bowl over a saucepot of simmering water and cook, whisking 
constantly and scraping down the sides of the bowl simultaneously, 
until thickened, about 8 minutes. The mixture should be able to coat 
the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the coconut 
oil. Press the curd through a fine mesh strainer set over a small 
bowl to discard any scrambled egg. Fold the lemon zest into the curd. 
Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the top and refrigerate 
until set, at least 1 hour.

In a blender, combine the flour, salt, milk, water, eggs, and 1 
tablespoon of the butter. Pulse for 10 seconds until smooth. Stir in 
the poppy seeds and lemon zest, cover and refrigerate to let rest for 
20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Heat a 10" nonstick pan and lightly brush 
it with some of the remaining butter. For each crêpe, add 1/4 cup of 
the batter to the pan and quickly swirl to spread evenly. Cook over 
moderate heat until the underside is dry and lightly golden, about 30 
seconds to 1 minute. Flip the crêpe and cook for 30 seconds to 1 
minute longer. Transfer to a baking sheet; repeat with the remaining 
batter to make 10 crêpes, brushing the pan with butter as needed.

With the crêpes on a baking sheet, fold them into quarters and spoon 
2 tablespoons of the ricotta within a fold of each crêpe. Bake until 
the cheese is warm inside and the crêpes are hot, about 4 minutes. 
Transfer to plates and top with the lemon curd. Garnish with lemon 
zest and serve right away.

Make Ahead: The crêpe batter can be made in advance and stored in an 
airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The lemon 
curd will keep in an airtight container up to 3 days.
