Grilled Cheese using Pancakes

I had a brainstorm! Could I make a grilled cheese using pancakes? Yes! These turned out great! I just took one of my pancake recipes, modified it slightly, then put sharp cheddar cheese in between. Totally delicious and I'll definitely make these again.
The only thing I wish I had was this square mold, so that the pancakes looked more like slices of bread. 🙂

Okay, so let's get started.

This recipe makes 6 pancakes.

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (if you make your own yogurt, you can “drip” it)
  • 3 large whole eggs [affiliate link]
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil [affiliate link]
  • 1/2 cup almond flour [affiliate link], packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda [affiliate link]
  1. Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and whisk (or use a hand mixer) until mixed thoroughly.
  2. Heat your griddle, (I recommend cast iron).
  3. Use plenty of butter or coconut oil before putting any batter onto it.
  4. When the griddle is hot (butter will be bubbly), place 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle and smooth into a circle (or if you have a square mold, make sure the batter spreads to all the edges).
  5. Allow to bake on one side until bubbles begin forming and popping. You can use your spatula to flip up the edge to check and make sure the pancake is browning.
  6. Once you flip the pancake, cut slits into the top in 2 or 3 places so the pancake cooks faster. The second side always takes less time to cook than the first side.
  7. As each pancake is done, place it on a plate and place cheese on top. When the second pancake is done, place on top of the cheese. That's one sandwich. Continue with each set of pancakes until done.

You may need to place the pancake sandwiches back onto the griddle to melt the cheese completely.

Enjoy!
