Savory Ham and Cheese Pancakes

Introduction:

Savory Ham and Cheese Pancakes are a delicious way to repurpose leftover ham while offering a comforting and hearty breakfast or brunch option. These pancakes combine the salty goodness of diced ham and the creamy richness of cheddar cheese for a delightful meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups whole milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
• ⅓ cup diced ham

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, stir the milk and egg until combined.
   • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the melted butter and milk mixture. Stir with a whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
2. Add Ham and Cheese:
   • Gently fold in the diced ham and grated cheddar cheese. Let the batter rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Use a ¼-cup measuring spoon to portion the batter onto the griddle. Spread it slightly if needed, as the batter will be thick.
   • Cook each pancake for 2–4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 2–4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the pancakes warm, topped with sour cream, diced green onions, or a dollop of savory herb-infused butter. For a sweet-and-savory twist, drizzle with maple syrup.
