Not content with sweet pancakes, I just had to try my hand at savoury pancakes. Helps that I prefer to eat savoury foods in the mornings. I didn't want to try anything fancy so my main ingredients were pancake batter, bratwurst and cheddar cheese.
I first sliced the bratwurst and pan fried the slices in a non-stick pan. When they were slightly browned, I added them into the batter. To the batter, I also added a pinch of truffle salt and black pepper. Note: I made the batter a little more runny compared to that of a hotcake.
Since this is an experiment of mine, I decided to put the cheese while the pancake was still uncooked on the top. So the bottom is how the cheese looked like after I flipped and melted it on the pan:
Reminds me of a pizza...so for the 2nd pancake, I decided to cook the pancake on both sides before I added the cheese.
I then sprinkled seaweed and bonito flakes while the cheese melted. It now resembles an omelette...
I wanted to top it off with mayonnaise but I didn't realise that I had ran out of it. Taste-wise, I think it was a bit like a healthy pizza that was still slightly sweet. I think this deserves more experimenting and I think I should've added more salt and perhaps a drop of truffle oil. I might want to try a version where the cheese is in the batter right from the start.
Please always remember to use the low flame to cook your pancakes so that the cheese doesn't burn. I might want to top this off with a carbonara-like sauce too. Ooh...all the possibilities!!
