Ingredients

For the pancakes:

  • 50 g Plain flour
  • 1 Free range egg
  • 150ml Milk Semi skimmed or whichever you have
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

For the filling:

  • 40 g Cheddar cheese grated
  • 40 g Good quality smoked ham
  • 1 Free range egg
  • 10 g Chives to serve

Instructions

  • Beat all of the pancake ingredients (apart from the oil) into a smooth batter.
  • Heat your frying pan over a medium heat and brush the pan with a little of the olive oil
  • When it's hot, gently pour in enough of the batter to coat the pan, swirling the pan around to get an even coating.
  • Flip when the pancake is moveable and brown underneath.
  • When the next side is almost done, put the ham on top, then the cheese.
  • Fold in each side to make a square.
  • Break your egg into the space left.
  • Squish the sides down with your spatula to seal as the cheese melts.
  • Cook for 3 or 4 minutes until the egg is turning white.
  • Pop under the grill (or broiler if you're in the US) for a further 4 or 5 minutes until the yolk is just starting to cook, or however you like it. 
  • I like to sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.

Notes

This recipe makes either two very large pancakes or 4 much smaller ones. Of course if you wanted 4 you'd need to arg 2 more eggs for full effect!
