Spinach Pancakes with feta cheese/goat cheese and cream cheese

1 liter of milk (which had past the expiration date) stood in the fridge. I didn´t want it to go to waste and the only milk based dish I could think of at the moment was pancakes. But instead of the traditional ones I wanted to create something more satiating and luxurious, and this became the result!




















Ingredients:
(Approx. 6 pancakes)
4 dl milk
4 eggs
1.5 dl flour (I used one half plain white flour, one half whole wheat flour)
160 g fresh spinach (frozen chopped spinach works probably just as well)
2 tsp salt (I used herb salt)
2-3 tbsp butter
Feta cheese or goat cheese, I would say at least 100 g
(½ -1 package of cream cheese)

Directions:
  • Chop the spinach thoroughly and fry in some butter. Season with salt.










  • Mix the flour, the remaining salt and half the milk into a lump-free mixture.
  • Add the eggs, the remaining milk and stir.
  • Add the spinach.
  • Heat a frying pan and add some butter.
  • Wait until the butter has finished bubbling and then pour an optional amount of the mixture in the pan, depending on desired size.
  • Let the bottom harden and then crumble some feta or goat cheese on at will.










  • Flip the pancake and bake the other side.
  • Ready to be served! For best result; add some cream cheese to the pancake.
I tried both with feta and goatcheese and even though I usually prefer goat cheese I must say that the feta version won my vote this tim e, but it's a matter of taste, both tasted delicious! Next time I'll make theese I´ll add some savory cheese (grated) to the mixture and sprinkle the pancake with sunflower seeds. It will probably taste even better!
