Shelly's Savory Pesto Pancakes
1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons Pancake Mix (I use this)
1 Tablespoon storebought Pesto Sauce (in the fresh pasta section)
1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
a few twists of Black Pepper
Whiz all ingredients in a mini food processor (a post-op MUST HAVE) Spray pan with non-stick spray. Cook on low till golden, flip and flatten. Cook till golden. Serve with Shelly's Italian Salsa. Makes 8 silver dollar size.I used whole milk ricotta if you use part skim. Drain through a sieve lined with a coffee filter for several hours or overnight in the fridge.
These pancakes can be made ahead and reheated. I had them for breakfast but they would be a great side dish or lunch with a little green salad. They are soft & loaded with yummy protein so early post weight loss surgery people should have no trouble with them.
Shelly's Italian Tomato Salsa
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
2 Tablespoons storebought Bruschetta Sauce (in the fresh pasta section)
1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, snipped
dash of Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper
Mix together. Serve with Shelly's Savory Pesto Pancakes. Also great on grilled Fish.
