Bacon, Leek and Gouda Pancake

I’m back to my McGyvering ways, this time orchestrating a meal around two leeks that I did not want to compost. I tend to get stuck at potato soup when I come across a leek, but this time the sight of them triggered the memory or a recipe I had set aside. I found it. I had Gouda! I had bacon! I started to make it, cooking the bacon, then the sliced leeks, until crispy, thinking it was essentially a frittata, wondering why it was called a pancake and why I had set it aside, anyway. Then I noticed the flour in the batter – ah yes, a pancake. A light, eggy pancake, something similar to those puffed apple pancakes, only savoury. Exactly the sort of thing I’d file away in my mental card catalog.

Bacon, Leek and Gouda Pancake

AuthorJulie

Yields1 Serving

6-8 slices bacon, chopped
2 large leeks (white and light green parts only), halved and thinly sliced
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
a spoonful of grainy mustard (1 tsp - 1 Tbsp)
1/2 tsp. sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Gouda

1

Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large ovenproof (cast iron works great!) skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside, pouring off all but a couple spoonfuls of the drippings. Cook the leeks in the pan for 5-8 minutes, until soft and turning golden.

2

Meanwhile, whiz together the eggs, milk, flour, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.

3

Scatter bacon over leeks in the skillet and pour the batter overtop; sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until slightly puffed and golden. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

    I was inspired by your rescue of random refrigerator items…my Dad always layers things up in a modern quiche style with leftovers:

    I cooked up some onions and peppers in a bit of oil, whisked together eggs and a bit of milk, and grated any cheese leftovers. I layered everything with 10 inch flour tortillas in an 8 inch round pan – one on the bottom as a base, some egg mix, veggies and cheese, added another, egg mix, veggies, cheese, and one to top it off and brushed with a little butter to crisp it up. The smaller pan makes the tortillas form a shallow bowl shape and hold the ingredients in on each layer. Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes or so. Watch the top so it doesn’t burn!

    ok…so one word…WOW. OK, 2, Thank You! It’s kind of rainy today, and my boys are all gone, so I stumbled upon a “me” day. Whipped this up for lunch, curled up with a book and listened to the rain. Couldn’t have been more perfect! Or delicious. YUM!! A perfect, perfect rainy-day girl food!

    It’s one of those things that happen when a pre-planned movie date with Mom gets over-ridden by an opportunity to run through the neighborhood and shoot waterguns with friends instead…kids grow up too fast! Just yesterday he was a clingy, gangly, giggling guy who needed his Mom for darn near everything….Now, not so much….I guess I did a good job! Just wish i hadn’t blinked so much!

    As someone who’s been cooking more at home since the pandemic started, I’ve definitely noticed how restaurants have stepped up their prepared food game (related notes). Those marinated meats and signature sauces that used to be only for dine-in are now available for takeout, and honestly, it’s been a game changer for weeknight dinners. I hope this trend continues because it’s given home cooks like me access to quality ingredients and flavors we wouldn’t typically attempt ourselves. The industry has adapted brilliantly to changing consumer habits.
