Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 250 ml flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 packet (about 10g) baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 250 ml milk (approximately)
- Oil for frying
For the sandwich:
- 4 slices of bread (preferably a slightly softer bread for a pleasant contrast)
- 150 g cheese (cottage cheese or cheese, depending on preference)
Preparing the Pancakes
1. Mixing the Ingredients: In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
2. Adding the Egg: Make a well in the center of the mixture and crack the egg. Then, pour half of the milk. Use a whisk or fork to gently mix, incorporating the egg and milk.
3. Incorporating the Remaining Milk: Gradually add the rest of the milk, continuing to mix until you obtain a smooth batter, but don't overmix; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable.
4. Frying the Pancakes: In a non-stick skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the skillet, forming round pancakes. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the pancake and fry the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat the process until all pancakes are fried.
Assembling the Sandwich
5. Preparing the Bread: Cut the bread slices into desired shapes (e.g., round or square) to fit the pancakes. Lightly toast them in a skillet with a little oil until golden and crispy.
6. The Complete Composition: Place a pancake on a slice of bread, add a generous portion of cheese on top, and cover with another slice of bread. You can also add other favorite ingredients, such as ham or vegetables for extra flavor.
7. Finishing the Sandwich: Fry the sandwich on both sides over medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread becomes crispy.
Serving
Your pancake sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! I recommend serving it warm, alongside a fresh green salad or a fruit smoothie to complete this delicious meal. Also, a cup of coffee or tea is the perfect choice to accompany breakfast.
Practical Tips
- Types of Cheese: You can experiment with various types of cheese. For example, feta cheese adds a salty and creamy taste, while cheese brings a richer flavor.
- Variations: You can add some banana or blueberry pieces to the pancake batter for a touch of natural sweetness.
- Oil for Frying: Use an oil with a high smoke point, such as sunflower oil, to avoid burning.
Nutritional Benefits
This pancake sandwich is not only delicious but also nutritious. The pancakes provide complex carbohydrates that give you long-lasting energy, while the cheese brings essential proteins and calcium. By adding fresh vegetables, you can further enrich the dish with vitamins and minerals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour will add a richer taste and more fiber, but the texture of the pancakes will be slightly different.

Of course! Pancakes can be made a few hours in advance and kept at room temperature or refrigerated. Warm them slightly before assembling the sandwich.
