REC: Egg Foo Young-ish pancake
 

Brunch was this wonderful Paleo Egg Foo Young-ish pancake I snagged
off of, nom nom paleo website. I didn't have the spinach the recipe
called for so I used micro-greens, then topped them with some greens I
lightly tossed with some olive oil and vinegar.

Egg Foo Young-ish (Spinach, Egg, Ham, & Coconut Pancakes)

Here’s what I assembled to make six 4-inch pancakes:

4 large eggs
1 teaspoon Sunny Paris seasoning or a tablespoon of minced fresh
chives
kosher salt, to taste
¼ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (you end up with about
1/3 cup of spinach)
2/3 cup diced ham (or any leftover cooked meat)
1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
ghee or coconut oil for frying
Here’s how I made them:

First, I assembled my mis en place.

In a large bowl, I whisked the eggs with Sunny Paris seasoning and
salt to taste. Next, I stirred in the coconut flour and baking soda.

I dumped in the spinach, ham, and apple cider vinegar and stirred
everything to combine.

I heated up a tablespoon of ghee in a cast iron skillet over medium
heat.

I scooped up some batter in a large disher (3 tablespoons size) and
plopped it in the pan…

…flattened the pancake to ½” with the back of a spoon….

…fried it for around 2 minutes on one side before flipping the pancake
over and cooking it for about a minute more.

When the pancakes were finished, I placed them on a wire rack to cool.

I ate these pancakes plain but they’d be wonderful topped with
guacamole or salsa. Similar to mini egg frittatas, these pancakes can
be eaten sans utensils and are totally adaptable to whatever you have
in the kitchen. Start experimenting, everyone!
