Ingredients for Savory Pancakes with Vegetables and Cheese
For the Pancakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
For the Filling:
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
½ cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
½ cup grated carrot
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup chopped bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk and olive oil (or melted butter).
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 2: Add the Vegetables and Cheese
Fold in the shredded cheese, grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped onion, bell pepper, fresh herbs, and minced garlic (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly to form a round shape.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese, if desired.
