SAVORY CAPRESE PANCAKES with tomato and mozzarella, soft and quick, perfect for dinner or appetizer, ready in 10 minutes, super tasty, summery, fresh, and delicious.
I was looking for something different for dinner, maybe something tasty but quick to make with what I already had at home. And so these savory caprese pancakes were born, a real surprise! Soft, no rising, ready in the pan, made with very simple ingredients: mozzarella, tomato, and basil.
Perfect as an alternative to the usual main dish or for a quick meatless dinner, but they are also great for a summer appetizer, a savory buffet, or to take on a picnic. The texture is soft and flavorful, and with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil leaves, they become irresistible!
You can enrich them with a little grated Parmesan, or fill them with ham, ricotta, or tuna if you want to make them richer. They are also a good idea for fridge-clearing recipes, when you have leftover mozzarella and some cherry tomatoes to use up.
Try them both hot and warm: they remain soft and flavorful, one leads to another!
