If you’ve never tried cheesy pancakes, then you’re in for a real treat! We like to serve this as a holiday breakfast dish, or really for any occasion when we want to celebrate something special. These pancakes are slightly sweet, super rich, and beyond delicious! And an unexpected benefit here is the amount of protein that is packed into this simple little patty – regular pancakes are made with flour and so are heavy in carbs, but not this pancake! With a primary base ingredient of cheese, these patties offer something a little more satisfying than a traditional pancake.
Ricotta cheese works so well here – it’s got the perfect texture and offers a great richness to the pancake. Serve these up warm and topped with virtually anything: fresh fruit, maple syrup, jam, and maybe a dusting of powdered sugar. We absolutely love these light, slightly sweet, and super delicious patties in the pan and we hope you’ll enjoy them too!
