Fluffy Cheese Egg Pancake

Recipe: Fluffy Cheese Egg Pancake

It’s a fluffy, cheesy, creamy, covered-in-butter and absolutely perfect breakfast pancake

Scrambled egg with the addition of flour and water to puff up the contents and produce a slightly more robust, but equally soft and juicy, eggy omelette pancake.

You can use any cheese you like for the filling, however, cheddar and creamy French cheeses tend to produce the most luxurious results. Mixing two or three types of cheese makes for the most exciting tasting pancake, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Best cheeses for melting onto a Fluffy Cheese Egg Pancake

• Cheddar
• Brie
• Goat Cheese
• Monterey Jack
• Swiss Cheese
• Fontina

Getting the Temperature of your Pan Right

You will need a large non-stick frying pan. The egg pancake batter is added to the pan without butter and oil to start so make sure your non-stick pan is of good quality.

Only add the batter once the pan is very hot so the batter seals together quickly and starts to rise and puff. This will make flipping it easier.
