While recipes range from sweet to savory, the combination with mushrooms brings a hearty and comforting aspect, perfect for family meals.

Step by Step
Step 1: Preparing the filling
1. Cleaning the ingredients: Wash the mushrooms well under cold running water. Peel the onion and chop it finely. The mushrooms can be diced to the size of corn kernels.
2. Sautéing: In a skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms and onion release their juice and it evaporates. This process takes about 10-15 minutes. The mushrooms will acquire a slightly caramelized texture.
3. Seasoning: Once the mixture has been sautéed, remove it from heat and let it cool. After it has cooled, add the finely chopped dill and parsley, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Preparing the pancake batter
1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour and oil, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Finally, add a pinch of salt.
2. Checking the consistency: The batter should be fluid but not too thin. If necessary, add a little milk or flour to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 3: Cooking the pancakes
1. Preheating the appliance: If using a pancake maker, preheat it according to the instructions. If using a skillet, grease it with a little oil and heat it over medium heat.
2. Cooking the pancakes: Pour a portion of batter into the skillet or appliance, rotating to evenly cover the surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the pancakes turn golden. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Step 4: Assembling the dish
1. Preparing the dish: Grease a baking dish with margarine and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs to prevent sticking.
2. Filling the pancakes: Take a pancake and add a portion of the mushroom filling in the center. Roll the pancake like a stuffed cabbage and place it in the prepared dish. Repeat until all pancakes are used.
Step 5: Final cooking
1. Adding the topping: Once all the pancakes are arranged in the dish, pour the yogurt on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.
2. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is browned and the pancakes are hot.
Serving and pairing suggestions
These mushroom pancakes are delicious served warm, alongside a rocket salad with cherry tomatoes and lemon dressing. Additionally, a cup of Greek yogurt or a garlic sour cream sauce would add a creamy and savory note.
