Ingredients

For the Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the cheese, chives, and melted butter.

Cook the Pancakes

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter.

Why Choose Cheese And Chives Pancakes?

These pancakes are an excellent choice for anyone looking to mix up their breakfast routine. Unlike traditional pancakes that can be overly sweet, the savory notes from cheese and chives provide a hearty option that keeps you satisfied longer. Additionally, they are a great way to sneak in some greens, particularly for those who might be hesitant to eat vegetables in the morning.

If you're meal prepping for the week, these pancakes hold up well when stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Simply reheat them in a skillet or microwave for a quick and convenient meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor or texture.

Storage and Freezing Tips

To store leftover pancakes, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. This method prevents them from sticking together and allows for easy access whenever you crave a savory snack.

When you're ready to enjoy your frozen pancakes, simply reheat them in a toaster or skillet until warmed through. This makes it easy to enjoy a homemade breakfast any day of the week, saving time while still offering the satisfaction of a delicious meal.
