Description
Cheesy Chive Pancakes are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes, featuring sharp cheddar cheese and fresh chives for a savory breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg until fully blended.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream or additional chives.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.
- Try substituting the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
