Savory Cheese Pancakes Recipe For National Pancake Day

The day for National Pancake Day varies each year because it falls on Shrove Tuesday, a traditional feasting day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. This year, Shrove Tuesday is March 1st, and we have a rather special pancake recipe for you: Grilled Cheese Pancakes, savory pancakes for any meal of the day. Thanks to Wyke Farms, a producer of great English Cheddar, for the recipe.

While the Cheddar producer calls these Grilled Cheese Pancakes, they aren’t “grilled cheese.” Rather, they are two conventional pancakes cooked (“grilled”) in a pan with a layer of melted, grated cheese between them.

You can substitute any grating cheese that you like, including pepper jack or a chile-infused Cheddar.

And you can enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, lunch, even dinner.
