Description

Thin pancakes wrapped around a creamy, herbed cottage cheese filling, perfect for a savory brunch.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup instant oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup egg whites water, as needed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 slices canadian bacon, diced
  • 1 ounce crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Blend the oatmeal, cottage cheese, and egg whites in a blender until smooth; add water as needed to keep the mixture moving. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper; blend to combine.
  2. Prepare a saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium heat; cook the mushrooms in the hot pan until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside.
  3. Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium- high heat; cook the cottage cheese mixture in the hot skillet until bubbles begin to form on the top. Flip the pancake and cook until browned on the bottom; remove from heat. Spread the mushrooms over one half of the pancake; top the mushrooms with the spinach, Canadian bacon, and feta cheese. Fold the other half of the pancake over the fillings like you would an omelet.
