INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 tsp. of salt
- 2 slices of ham
- 3 big eggs
- 1/4 tsp. of black pepper
- 2 tbsp. of heavy cream
- 1 tsp. of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- It aids in the binding of all dough-making ingredients. As an alternative, use flax eggs, which are also ideal for maintaining a low-carb diet.
COCONUT OIL:
- This oil makes the pancake firmer without increasing the amount of carbs. Make use of the ghee instead, which is good for a ketogenic diet.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- We use mozzarella cheese, which melts easily and imparts a stretchy texture to the pancake. To make a dairy-free version of this dish, use high-fat mozzarella or vegan mozzarella.
HEAVY CREAM:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stir the black pepper, heavy cream, eggs, and salt in a bowl till they get smoother
Lightly warm the skillet (nonstick) and include the coconut oil or butter in it.
- Spread the egg mixture equally by tilting the skillet.
- Uniformly distribute the shredded mozzarella and chopped ham on the surface.
- Cover the skillet and cook till all the corners are set and the cheese melts, for 4 to five minutes
- Gently fold the pancake in half with a spatula.
- Cook for another two minutes to melt the cheese completely
Place the pancake on the plate and serve it warm.
TIPS:
- Cooking this dish for a long time will change the egg’s texture.
- Utilize the chives or parsley to provide more flavor.
- Cover the cheese properly and then melt it to prevent the eggs from burning.
