In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; itβs okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it into a circle shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired, and enjoy immediately.
