What's for Dinner?

What's for dinner, you ask? 
If you're thinking pancakes, you are right! Sweet pancakes are one of my favorite things in the entire world, but when it comes to dinner, sweet doesn't always sound the most appetizing, or hit the spot. So sometimes, I have to switch it up. 

SAVORY. PANCAKES. 
That's where it's at. Especially when it comes to dinner. 

Breakfast for dinner is definitely the bomb, but sometimes I like to give it a little twist. 

Last night I made the most satisfying savory pancakes. I had some leftover steak, so of course I was thinking steak & eggs. Duh. 
So what goes perfectly with steak & eggs? 

Garlic.
Chives. 
Cheese. 

Savory Steak & Egg Pancake Sammies

Boom. Perfection. 

Savory pancakes are super simple. You just cut out anything sweet you would usually put in your batter. Such as vanilla, sugar, honey, etc. 
Start with a super basic batter and then add in your savory additions. 

This was my recipe: 
1C gluten free baking flour (I make my own so it's paleo friendly, too)
1C almond milk (preferably not flavored or sweetened) 
1 egg 
1t baking soda
1T (butter/coconut oil/avocado oil-your pick!)
1T garlic salt
1T chives
1/2 C cheese (I used mozzarella because that's what I had on hand)*

*If you want to make this paleo, go with the Veggie Go cheese 

To assemble the sammies, use about 1/8 cup when you put the batter on the griddle, or an ice cream scoop would work. This makes perfect little circles. 
Pancake on bottom. Stack steak, eggs, and salsa. Top it with another pancake. And tada! Savory pancake steak & egg sammie! 

For lunch today, I used my leftover pancakes to make mini ham & cheese sandwiches. I am sure they will be just as delicious. 

What ingredients would you add to a savory pancake? 

Enjoy!

Oink, oink! Haylea
