Every time I have a few eggs, some leftover cheese, and pressed ham, I make these savory pancakes. They are quick, flourless, and good at any time, especially when you don't feel like anything complicated. Sometimes I take them with me as a snack or pair them with a salad. Quick Info Total time: 25 minutes Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes Dough resting time: 15 minutes Servings: 2 (6-8 small pancakes, depending on the pan) Difficulty: easy Recipe type: breakfast or savory snack Ingredients 2 eggs 2 tablespoons low-fat cheese (any crumbly low-fat cheese) 2 tablespoons oat bran 1 tablespoon wheat bran 2 slices of pressed chicken ham Salt Pepper Oregano Preparation method 1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a pinch of salt. 2. Add pepper and oregano to taste. 3. Add the cheese and mix well with a fork; it doesn't need to melt or dissolve perfectly. 4. Cut the pressed ham into small pieces and incorporate it into the mixture. 5. Add the oat bran and wheat bran. Mix everything until you get a slightly thick, homogeneous batter. 6. Cover the bowl and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the bran to swell. 7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. 8. Take a small ladle of batter and pour it into the pan, forming a circle. Don't spread it too thin; otherwise, they will turn out too dry. 9. Let the pancakes cook for about a minute on the first side. When the edges start to firm up, flip with a spatula and let cook for another minute on the other side. 10. Remove them to a plate, stacking one on top of the other. Repeat until all the batter is used up. Why I make this recipe often It helps me when I need a quick snack without using flour or baking powder. These pancakes are made from what I have in the fridge. They are filling and easy to customize. Tips and variations Tips - A non-stick pan makes a difference, especially if you don't want to use oil. - Don't skip the resting time; otherwise, the bran will remain hard. - Cut the ham as finely as possible so it doesn't break the batter. Substitutions - The low-fat cheese can be replaced with lower-fat cottage cheese or even ricotta. - The ham can be any type of lean ham, preferably sliced thicker. - Oregano can be omitted or replaced with dill or parsley, according to preference. Variations - You can also add finely chopped mushrooms, red bell pepper, or dill to the mixture if you have them on hand. - If you want more texture, add small pieces of crunchy vegetables. Serving ideas - They are good with a yogurt sauce mixed with garlic. - You can also serve them alongside a raw cabbage salad. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use just one type of bran if I don't have both? Yes, you can use either oat bran or wheat bran, but the texture will be slightly different. Oat bran gives more consistency. 2. How do I know when the pancakes are done? They firm up slightly at the edges and can be flipped without breaking. The color should be slightly golden on both sides. 3. Can they be made without ham? Yes, you can leave the ham out or replace it with very finely chopped vegetables like bell pepper or mushrooms. 4. What if I don't have a non-stick pan? You can grease the pan with a little oil or butter before each batch of pancakes. 5. Can the recipe be doubled? Yes, the ingredients can be easily doubled without any other adjustments. Nutritional values Estimate for one serving (half of the recipe): Calories: approximately 180-220 kcal Protein: 18-20 g Carbohydrates: 8-12 g Fats: 7-9 g Values are approximate and depend on the type of cheese and ham used. The bran adds fiber. Storage and reheating These pancakes are best fresh. If leftovers remain, they can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day, covered. They don't dry out completely but do become firmer. You can reheat them easily in a pan over low heat or in the microwave. If they are older than a day, the texture becomes tougher.
