Ingredients
- 5 strips of bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- 200g pancake mix (hotcake mix)
- 200ml milk
- 1 medium potato
- Butter, for cooking
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by prepping the delicious toppings. Dice the bacon into roughly 1cm pieces. Peel the potato and dice it into similar 1cm cubes. This uniform size ensures even cooking and a pleasant texture in every bite.
Step 2
Blanch the diced potato in boiling water for about 2 minutes. This par-cooking step helps the potato become tender inside the pancake without overcooking. Drain them well immediately after blanching.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until it’s golden brown and wonderfully crispy. If you prefer, you can drain off most of the rendered bacon fat, or leave a little in the pan to cook the pancakes. Season with a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and 1 egg. Whisk until just combined and smooth; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes tough.
Step 5
Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour your desired amount of batter to form a pancake. Once small bubbles start to appear on the surface, sprinkle the blanched potato cubes and crispy bacon pieces over the batter. Carefully flip the pancake once the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown.
Step 6
In a separate pan, melt a knob of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the remaining 5 eggs and scramble them gently until they are softly cooked and still moist. As the scrambled eggs begin to set, generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over them, allowing it to melt into a delicious, gooey layer.
Step 7
To assemble your masterpiece, place one cooked pancake on a plate. Top it generously with the cheesy scrambled eggs. Finally, place another cooked pancake on top to complete this amazing sweet and savory creation. Serve immediately and enjoy the fantastic contrast of flavors and textures!
