Breakfast pancake roll

A creative take on classic pancakes is the breakfast pancake roll. For breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack, picture a fluffy, soft pancake encased in mouthwatering breakfast ingredients! Both the pancakes and the fillings can be made according to this recipe. Whether you prefer salty or sweet fillings, you can customize them to your liking. This dish calls for a savory filling consisting of cheese, and scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

Regarding the Pancakes:

1. One and a half cups all-purpose flour
2. Two tablespoons of sugar granules
3. Two tsp baking powder
4. 1 ¼ cups milk and ½ teaspoon salt
5. One huge egg
6. Two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
7. One teaspoon of vanilla extract
8. Oil or butter for cooking

Regarding the Filling:

• Six big eggs
• One cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
• For the scrambled eggs, use two teaspoons of milk.
• To taste, add salt and pepper.
• Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, if desired.

Directions

Step 1: Get the pancake batter ready

• Combine the dry ingredients: Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.
• Mix the moist ingredients together: Beat the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate basin.
• Prepare the batter: Stir just until mixed after adding the wet components to the dry ingredients. Some lumps are acceptable; just be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing could result in tough pancakes.
• Note: Use a little less milk if you like your pancakes thicker. To achieve the appropriate consistency for thinner pancakes, add a bit extra milk.

Cooking the Pancakes in Step Two

• Warm up the pan: Set a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. To avoid sticking, add a tiny bit of oil or butter.
• Make the pancakes: For each pancake, pour ¼ cup of batter into the hot pan. Gently spread it out in a circle. After cooking for two to three minutes, or until bubbles start to appear on the surface, turn and continue cooking for one to two more minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
• Tip: To regulate the size and shape of your pancakes, pour the batter into a tiny measuring cup or use a pancake ring to ensure that they are exactly round.
• Keep the pancakes warm: While you cook the remaining pancakes, move the ones that are cooking to a baking sheet and put them in the oven at a low temperature (around 200°F/90°C) to keep them warm.

Step 3: Filling Preparation

• When finished, take the chicken out and let it drain on a paper towel. Cut into small pieces as soon as it’s cool enough to handle.
• To prepare the scrambled eggs, crack the eggs and whisk them with the milk in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add a small knob of butter to a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture after the butter has melted.
• To make soft curds, gently stir with a spatula. Cook the eggs until they are slightly creamy but mostly set.
• They will continue to cook in the residual heat from the pan, so remove from the heat while they are still just undercooked.
• Mix the filling: Combine the scrambled eggs, cooked chicken, and shredded cheese in a big bowl. The warmth of the chicken and eggs will cause the cheese to melt a little, resulting in a creamy filling.

Step 4: Making the Pancake Rolls for Breakfast

• Pancake arrangement: Transfer one of the heated pancakes to a plate or level surface. If you want a firmer roll, make sure it’s completely cooled down, though somewhat warm will also work fine.
• Put the filling in: About two to three teaspoons of the scrambled egg mixture should be spooned onto the pancake’s middle. Avoid overfilling as this may make rolling challenging.
• Roll the pancake: Make sure the filling stays within the pancake by carefully folding in the edges before gently rolling it up.
• Tip: Before filling, cut the pancakes into slightly smaller circles for a neater roll.
• Proceed with the remaining pancakes and filling in the same manner.

Step 5: Dispensing

• Place the rolled pancakes on a plate to serve warm. For an added touch, you may top them with more shredded cheese, fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or even a splash of spicy sauce.
• Optional sides: To round out the meal, serve your pancake rolls with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a side of crispy hash browns.

Remarks and Advice

• Make-ahead option: The pancakes and filling can be made in advance. After cooking, keep the pancakes for up to two days in an airtight container. Before assembly, the chicken mixture and scrambled eggs can be gently reheated in the refrigerator.

Variations in flavor:

• Sweet breakfast roll: To make it sweeter, stuff the pancake with fresh berries, whipped cream cheese, and maple syrup or honey. For added taste, you can even sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top.
• Option for vegetarians: For the stuffing, omit the chicken and substitute sautéed peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. For added richness, add goat or feta cheese.
• Freezing: You can freeze the pancake rolls. Just put each roll in a freezer bag after wrapping it separately in plastic wrap. For ten to fifteen minutes, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until thoroughly heated.
• Serving size: To serve as finger food at a brunch or party, cut the pancake rolls into smaller pieces. They’re ideal for sharing.
