A savory twist on the classic pancake that combines the irresistible flavors of cheese and meat into a hearty meal. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick lunch, these pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with protein.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil (plus more for cooking)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon (or a plant-based alternative)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheese and cooked meat into the batter until evenly distributed.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Enjoy your Easy Cheese Meat Pancakes warm, topped with additional cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
