Batter: Mix flour with the beaten eggs, salt, and water to form a pancake batter. Let the batter rest for at least two hours. In a small iron skillet (max. 20 cm base diameter), fry very thin pancakes (makes about 10 to 12 pancakes). Filling: Thaw the spinach, squeeze dry if necessary, and chop. Fry the minced meat, onions, spinach, garlic, and spices in oil, let cool slightly, and mix the mixture with the beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, and tomato paste to make the filling. Season to taste. Spread the filling over the pancakes, roll them up tightly, and place them in a buttered baking dish. Spread the grated cheese over the dough rolls. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until the cheese crust is nice and crispy (about 15 minutes).
