Savory Cheese and Herb Pancakes

Now, who said pancakes are just for breakfast? These Savory Cheese and Herb Pancakes are here to flip that notion on its head, offering a deliciously cheesy, herby twist that’s perfect any time of day. Let’s dive into this culinary adventure that’s bound to make your taste buds dance with joy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (because, let’s face it, it’s the trusty backbone of any good pancake)
• 1 tsp baking powder (the unsung hero that gives these pancakes their lift)
• 1/2 tsp salt (just enough to make the flavors pop)
• 1 cup milk (whole milk for richness, but hey, use what you’ve got)
• 1 large egg (I swear by room temp eggs for a smoother batter)
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better, in my opinion)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (think chives and parsley for a fresh kick)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (because butter makes everything better)
• Extra virgin olive oil for frying (my go-to for that perfect golden crust)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is where the magic starts.
2. In another bowl, beat the milk and egg until well combined. Room temp eggs blend in smoother, just saying.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Overmixing is the enemy of fluffy pancakes.
4. Fold in the grated cheddar and chopped herbs. The more cheese, the merrier, right?
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Wait until it’s hot but not smoking—patience is key.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. A little peek underneath never hurt anyone.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Keep them warm in a low oven if you’re making a batch.

Bite into these pancakes, and you’ll be greeted with a crispy exterior giving way to a soft, cheesy center, flecked with fresh herbs. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream or a side of avocado for an extra layer of deliciousness.
