Ah, you’re talking about a savory pancake—like a hearty breakfast or brunch dish with ham and cheese built in. Here’s a simple, delicious recipe:
Salty Pancakes with Ham and Cheese
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- ½ cup (50–75 g) diced ham
- Optional: chopped green onions or herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Make the batter
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until smooth. Batter should be slightly thick.
2. Add ham and cheese
- Fold in diced ham and shredded cheese (and optional herbs or green onions).
3. Cook the pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter it.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
4. Serve
- Serve hot with a side salad, sour cream, or ketchup if you like.
Tips:
- You can add a little mustard or herbs in the batter for extra flavor.
- For a crispier edge, cook pancakes slightly longer on medium-low heat.
- Swap ham for bacon, cooked sausage, or smoked turkey for variety.
If you want, I can also give a fancy version where the pancake is stuffed with ham and cheese inside, kind of like a savory pancake turnover. That one is extra indulgent. Do you want me to do that?
