Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder. Whisk until well combined.
Add softened cream cheese to the bowl and blend using an electric mixer until smooth.
Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a smooth batter.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt some of the unsalted butter to coat the surface.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading gently with a spoon to form a circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
