🥓 The Flavor Combo That Works Every Time
Salty ham brings a touch of smoky richness, while the cheese adds creaminess and depth. When folded into a simple pancake batter, these ingredients create a savory cake that’s golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside — and bursting with flavor.
Choose sharp cheddar, Swiss, or even Gruyère for that melt-and-stretch cheese pull. Use diced cooked ham, prosciutto, or even bacon bits to mix things up.
🧂 How to Serve Salty Pancakes
You can dress them up or keep them simple:
- 🍳 Top with a fried egg and cracked black pepper for a brunch-worthy plate.
- 🥗 Serve with arugula or mixed greens for a balanced lunch.
- 🧄 Add sour cream, mustard, or garlic yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
- 🌶️ Sprinkle with chili flakes or herbs if you like a little heat.
These pancakes are endlessly adaptable — just like sweet pancakes, but with a savory soul.
👩🍳 Pro Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to get that beautiful golden crust.
- Don’t overmix the batter – a few lumps are okay and lead to fluffier pancakes.
- Cook over medium heat so the inside cooks through without burning the outside.
- Chop your ham and cheese finely to distribute the flavor evenly.
