Savoury Ways to Eat Pancakes
Pancakes are just as delicious savoury, as they are sweet!
We've got lots of tasty ideas for using up your leftovers with our savoury pancakes.
Use our our quick and easy pancake recipe, then experiment with fillings...
Pesto, Ham and Leftover Vegetables
Add a little pesto to the pancake batter. Make a white sauce or use a bought cheese sauce. Mix in leftover cooked chopped ham, sweetcorn and any leftover cooked vegetables roughly chopped. Spread the mixture over 2/3 of the pancake, roll up and place seam side down in a greased dish. Sprinkle with cheese and heat in the oven until piping hot. Serve with a crisp green salad.
Chicken Stir Fry
For an oriental twist, add chopped coriander to the pancake mix and use coconut milk in place of the regular milk. Fill the pancakes with leftover cooked chicken and stir fried vegetables. A great way to use up any stray vegetables from the fridge.
Spanish Pancakes
Add a pinch of chilli to the pancake batter. Heat a jar of spicy arrabiata pasta sauce in a pan, add any leftover chopped vegetables that you have hiding in the fridge. Bring to the boil and cook until reduced a little. Fry an egg in a non-stick frying pan. Place a chilli pancake on a warmed plate, spread with the arrabiata sauce and top with an egg. Sprinkle over grated cheese and chopped coriander.
Green Pancakes
Fold in leftover cooked spinach to the batter. This gives a lovely speckled pancake and tastes great filled with a mixture of leftover vegetables such as sauteed chopped leeks, mushrooms and grated leftover cheese.
Mince Pancakes
Spread any leftover Bolognese sauce or chilli over 2/3 of a pancake.Roll up and place seam side down in a greased oven proof dish, top with a cheese sauce and grated cheese and bake until golden and hot through.
