Salty Pancakes with Ham and Cheese are a cozy and savory twist on traditional pancakes—perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner. These soft, golden pancakes are filled with melted cheese and smoky ham, then served warm and folded or layered for a deliciously satisfying bite.
🧾 Ingredients
150g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (chemical yeast)
2 eggs
200ml milk
1 pinch of salt
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
4 slices of ham
100g grated cheese (Emmental, cheddar, or other melty cheese)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Crack in the eggs and slowly add the milk while whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour in the melted butter and stir until fully incorporated. The batter should be fluid but not too thin.
2️⃣ Cook the Pancakes
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet to form a pancake. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set.
Flip the pancake and immediately layer 1 slice of ham and a generous handful of grated cheese on one side.
Fold the pancake in half or top with another pancake to enclose the filling. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melted.
3️⃣ Serve
Repeat with the remaining batter and filling ingredients.
Serve warm with a crisp green salad or simple mustard vinaigrette.
Optional: Drizzle with crème fraîche or serve with a light herbed dipping sauce.
