Cheese pancakes with garlic - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese for these pancakes?

Yes, you can substitute the cheese with any melty variety like cheddar, mozzarella, or Gouda for a different flavor profile. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan, as they won't blend as well.

How should I store leftover cheese pancakes?

Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.

Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for a gluten-free version. Adjust the amount as needed for the right consistency.

What can I serve with these cheese pancakes besides sour cream?

They pair well with Greek yogurt, applesauce, or a fresh herb dip. For a heartier meal, serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Can I freeze these pancakes for later use?

Yes, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture—about 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

How can I make these pancakes crispier?

Ensure your pan is well-heated before adding the pancakes, and avoid overcrowding. Press them lightly with a spatula while frying to increase crispiness.

What's a low-carb alternative to potatoes in this recipe?

Replace potatoes with grated cauliflower or zucchini (squeezed dry) for a lower-carb version. Adjust flour as needed to bind the mixture.

Can I bake these pancakes instead of frying?

Yes! Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. They may be less crispy than fried versions.
