Savory Pancakes

Pancakes are awesome. Easy to make, and you can make so many different varieties, the fun never stops. Usually, we, the Dutch, put all kinds of the sweet stuff on it. Sugar, Maple Syrup, Powdered Sugar, Nutella, Chocolate Sprinkles, but often we also put apples, cheese, bacon, and other stuff between it.

For this pancake, I wanted to get a little bit more savory. Bell pepper, Bacon and Rucola, I forgot to add some Pine Nuts, and topped it off with some traditional Dutch Maple Syrup (which is very different from the Maple Syrup they serve in the US). I first baked the bacon half-way, let it dry for a bit, added a little bit of honey and baked it again. In the same pan, I fried the bell pepper, so it would get a little bit more flavor.

I usually don't like the bitter taste of Rucola itself, but with the sweet syrup, it was a nice combo of flavors.

How do you like your pancakes? What do you put on it?

Bon apetite,
