DIFFERENT STUFFED SAVOURY PANCAKES

Stuffed savoury pancakes offer endless possibilities for exploring savoury flavour combinations. Discover some of them below.

Irresistible classics

• Ham and cheese: a simple but always effective filling. Combination of the mildness of the cheese and the saltiness of the ham. You can add an extra touch with aromatic herbs such as parsley or rocket.
• Spinach and ricotta: a vegetarian option full of flavour and nutrients. Sauté spinach with garlic and mix with ricotta, parmesan cheese and nutmeg for a creamy and delicious filling.
• Chicken and mushrooms: a classic that never fails for savoury stuffed crepes. Cook chicken in small pieces and sauté with mushrooms, onion and garlic. Season with Maldon® salt, pepper and your favourite herbs.

Gourmet options

• Smoked salmon and cream cheese: a sophisticated and elegant filling. Spread cream cheese on the crepe and top with thinly sliced smoked salmon. You can add capers, dill or red onion for an extra touch of flavour.
• Wild mushrooms and foie gras: a gourmet dish for special occasions. Sauté wild mushrooms in butter and garlic. Place the foie gras in the centre of the crepe and top with the mushrooms.
• Lobster cream: a luxurious filling full of flavour. Prepare a lobster cream with cream, butter, cooked lobster and brandy. Fill the crepes and garnish with fresh chives.

Innovative ideas

• Chorizo and Manchego cheese: a very Spanish option. Sauté thinly sliced chorizo and mix with crumbled Manchego cheese. Sometimes roasted red pepper is added.
• Falafel and hummus: A vegan option for stuffed savoury pancakes is packed with protein and flavour. Mash cooked chickpeas with a good tahini such as ACHVA brand, garlic, lemon and cumin to make hummus. Serve the crumbled falafel on top of the crepe and top with hummus.
• Carne asada and guacamole: an irresistible Mexican flavour. Cook carne asada to your liking and shred it. Prepare guacamole with avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro and lime. Fill crepes and serve with sour cream and hot sauce.

There are some features that are the same as the sweet versions. However, we are going to detail each of them:

• Thin, crispy batter. The batter of savoury crêpes is similar to that of the sweet ones, but with a less sweet touch and a slightly firmer texture.
• Savoury fillings. Fillings are the heart and soul of savoury crêpes. You can use a wide variety of ingredients, such as meats, cheeses, vegetables, seafood, eggs, etc.
  They can be served hot or cold, and can be combined with a wide range of sauces and garnishes.
• Ease of preparation. The dough is quick and easy to make and the filling can be prepared in advance.

This is not a difficult meal to cook, however, to get the best result keep the following aspects in mind:

• Use quality ingredients to get the best flavour.
• Do not overload the pancakes with too many fillings.
• Heat the pancakes before filling them.
• Fold or roll the crepes carefully to prevent them from breaking.
• Serve pancakes immediately for maximum enjoyment.
• Add sauce.
