Indulge in layers of fluffy pancakes filled with bacon and cheese for the ultimate breakfast comfort food win.
Ingredients
- • All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Large eggs: 2
- • Whole milk: 1 cup
- • Unsalted butter, melted: 4 tablespoons
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Cooked bacon, chopped: 8 slices
- • Chives, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Maple syrup, for serving: optional
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
- 3 In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together, then slowly incorporate the melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 4 Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 5 Lightly grease the preheated griddle with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6 Stack the pancakes on a serving plate, layering with additional cheese and bacon if desired. Serve hot with a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet and savory finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • This hearty breakfast pancake stack pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit to balance the richness of the cheese and bacon. A crisp, refreshing fruit salad with berries and citrus can complement the savory elements and cleanse the palate between bites. For beverages, a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee or a frothy café latte provides a comforting warmth that harmonizes with the cheesy, bacon-laden pancakes. For those who enjoy a touch of heat, consider adding a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to your pancakes to create a spicy contrast. If you're hosting a brunch, serve alongside a selection of mimosas or a light sparkling wine to elevate the indulgence even further.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the pancakes to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a microwave for 1-2 minutes, though this may not preserve the crispness of the bacon.
