Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 6 pancakes (you can use traditional pancakes or whole wheat pancakes for a healthier option)
- 1 large red pepper
- 150 g ham (choose quality ham, preferably from pork or turkey)
- 100 g cheese (cottage cheese, mozzarella, or feta, depending on your preference)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh dill or parsley for decoration

Preparation instructions:

1. Preparing the pancakes: If you don't have ready-made pancakes, start by preparing the pancake batter. Mix 250 g of flour, 500 ml of milk, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of sunflower oil. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes, then cook the pancakes in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Keep them warm.

2. Preparing the filling: Cut the red pepper into small cubes. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and add the chopped pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly soft. Add the diced ham and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assembling the rounds: Take a pancake and add an even layer of the pepper and ham mixture. Sprinkle the chosen cheese on top and, if desired, add some fresh herbs. Roll the pancake tightly to form a log.

4. Cutting and serving: Once all the rolls are formed, cut them into rounds about 2 cm thick. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh dill or parsley for an extra touch of freshness.

Useful tips:
- For a vegetarian option, you can replace the ham with smoked tofu or a combination of grilled vegetables.
- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese, for a more intense flavor.
- These pancake rounds are also great cold, so you can prepare them a day in advance and keep them in the fridge.

Serving suggestion: Serve the pancake rounds with a yogurt sauce or sour cream flavored with garlic and herbs. This detail will add a contrast of flavors and turn the appetizer into an unforgettable culinary experience.

Each pancake is filled with a slice of ham, cheese, and red bell pepper (I also added some kapia in the middle). The pancakes are rolled up and placed in a greased baking dish (with butter). They are baked for 10 minutes, then the pancakes are cut into thick slices of about 3 cm and served as a cold snack.
