About Egg pancake

Egg pancakes are a classic dish enjoyed globally, often categorized within breakfast or light meals. Originating in various forms across different cuisines, they consist of eggs as the primary ingredient, sometimes combined with small amounts of flour or milk for texture. Traditional in Chinese, French (crêpes), and Western cuisines, these pancakes are nutrient-dense. Egg pancakes are an excellent source of protein, essential amino acids, and healthy fats from eggs. They also provide significant amounts of Vitamin B12, choline, and selenium. The final nutritional profile depends on additional ingredients used, such as butter or sweeteners, but the base components are low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making them a balanced option for many diets.

• Provides selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and supports immune function (15.4 mcg per large egg).

Can I eat egg pancakes on a keto diet?

Are egg pancakes healthy?

Egg pancakes can be a healthy choice as they are rich in protein, healthy fats, and contain essential vitamins like B12 and choline from the eggs.
