Breakfast Pancake Light Bulb Moment!
Keto pancakes yesterday morning for breakfast and had left over batter and thought better use that up, but really felt like bacon, OMG dilemma! I am a real breakfast foodie. Normally my first thoughts of the day are thinking what shall I have whilst walking down the stairs (sad I know). But this morning had an absolute blinder of an idea which paid off as far as I’m concerned. Breakfast pancake! Added bacon and cheese but I reckon you could get sausage, mushroom, tomato, maybe a push at beans but they could be a side.
- 50g Fat free cottage cheese
- 1 x Egg
- 1 x Tsp Psyllium husk powder
- 2 x Rashers bacon (chopped)
- Chopped parsley
- 20g Grated cheese
- Cooking oil (coconut if following Keto)
You could of course make using your normal batter mix with whatever you fancy in your pancake for breakfast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg and psyllium husk powder. Allow 5 minutes for the batter to thicken.
- Using a non-stock pan heat a drizzle of oil on a low heat.
- Adding the chopped bacon to the pan, stir-fry for couple of minutes, add parsley and season well.
- Pour an amount of batter into pan frying pancake for approx 3-4 minutes (till golden).
- Flip pancake add your grated cheese and then I popped under grill to finish melting cheese to perfection!
PS: If you dislike the curd lumps in the cottage cheese, blitz with a blender for a smooth batter.
I then served with a slight smattering of hollandaise sauce before rolling. This was amazing for a 5 minute brain wave. Also went onto thinking lunch ideas could be brought into this, so watch this space for other ideas, or share with us yours.
