Tired of the same old boring pancakes for breakfast? Well, get ready to have your mind blown by Savory Dutch Pannekoeken! These thin, crepe-like pancakes are traditionally filled with savory ingredients like ham and cheese, making for a breakfast (or brunch!) that's both delicious and satisfying.
Unlike American pancakes, pannekoeken are much thinner and have a slightly crispy edge. They're incredibly versatile and can be filled with all sorts of savory goodness. This recipe features ham and cheese, but you can get creative and use your favorite ingredients!
Plus, they're surprisingly easy to make with just a few pantry staples. They're perfect for a weekend brunch with friends or a quick and easy breakfast on a busy weekday.
Here's what you'll need:
For the Pannekoeken:
1. Make the Pannekoeken Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and slightly pourable. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the Pannekoeken:
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Melt a pat of butter in the pan.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the edges start to curl.
3. Assemble the Pannekoeken:
Remove the cooked pannekoeken from the pan and place it on a plate.
Sprinkle with chopped ham and cheese.
Fold the pannekoeken into a triangle or roll it up.
4. Cook the Eggs:
In the same pan you cooked the pannekoeken, melt another pat of butter.
Crack an egg into the pan and cook to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve:
Place the filled pannekoeken on a plate and top with a fried egg.
Savory Dutch Pannekoeken are a delicious and unique twist on the classic pancake! They're easy to make, endlessly customizable, and sure to become a new breakfast favorite. So ditch the boring pancakes and give this recipe a try! I have a feeling you'll be surprised at how delicious savory pancakes can be.
