Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Savory Cheese-Stuffed Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
5. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese onto the pancake before flipping.
6. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
8. Serve warm, stacked high, and enjoy the ooey-gooey melted cheese in every bite!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use freshly grated cheese for the best melting quality.
• Let your batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to achieve fluffier pancakes.
• Don’t rush the cooking; ensure the skillet is at the right temperature to avoid burning the pancakes.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked bacon or ham for a meaty twist.
• Stir in chopped herbs like chives or parsley for an extra flavor boost.
• Swap out the cheese for a different variety like pepper jack or feta for a unique taste.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy bacon or sausage links.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Maple syrup or hot sauce for drizzling on top.
• A simple green salad for a light accompaniment.
