It’s a fluffy, cheesy, creamy, covered-in-butter, and perfect breakfast pancake
Scrambled eggs with the addition of flour and water puff up the contents and produce a slightly more robust, but equally soft and juicy, cheesy egg omelette pancake.
Use any cheese you like for the filling, however, cheddar and creamy French cheeses tend to produce the most luxurious results. Mixing two or three types of cheese makes for the most exciting-tasting pancake, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Getting the temperature of your pan right
You will need a large non-stick frying pan. The egg pancake batter is added to the pan without butter and oil so make sure your non-stick pan is of good quality.
Only add the batter once the pan is very hot so the batter seals together quickly and starts to rise and puff. This will make flipping it easier. Full recipe instructions below.
