Add ins of choiceI used 1/4 cup diced onions, diced bacon and a chopped tomato
Red pepper flakesoptional
Extra basil for sprinkling
Cooking oil/spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sea salt, mixed herbs and stir until combined.
Add the egg, blended cottage cheese and milk and mix very well until a thick batter has formed.
Stir through the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato sauce and any add ins of choice and mix until fully incorporated.
Heat a large frying pan on low heat and coat with oil/cooking spray. Once searing hot, pour batter 1/4 cup at a time and add a dash of parmesan cheese to it. Spread the batter out and cover immediately. Once bubbles start to appear on the edges, flip and cover once more. Remove once golden on top. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up.
Serve immediately with marinara sauce and a sprinkling of basil on top.
Notes
I would recommend blending the cottage cheese purely for removing the lumps (Australian brands are mostly like this). The more 'add ins' you choose, the thinner the base will be. These pancakes can be cooled and frozen. If reheating from frozen, it's best to do so over the pan.
