Published on 24 April 2022
Pancakes are not just flat, they’re versatile. The classic topping of a squeeze of lemon juice and a light sprinkling of sugar is sublime, but they also love a proper filling. And this savoury pancake has a selection of power-packed fillings – mushroom, bacon, brie and spinach. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch or a light supper, not to mention brunch. The centrepiece of the action is the creaminess of the brie that melts into the saltiness of the bacon. This flavour combo sits nicely with the umami mushrooms and the earthy flavour of the spinach. Taking 20 minutes to make, this wins the pancake race hands down.Time and servings
