Mm, they were so good last time I had to try another version of these. This time they’ve got leeks in them, and they are topped with a creamy vegan (or not) mushroom sauce. Brunch, dinner, an appie – these are good anytime!
What you need:
4 eggs, separated
1 cup flour
1 & 1/3 cups cottage cheese
salt and pepper
1 leek, sliced
butter for frying
grated parmesan for serving (optional)
For the mushroom sauce:
2 shallots, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
10-12 button mushrooms (or any others of you’ve got some fancier ones)
a few leaves of fresh sage, chopped (a little thyme would work well as a substitution)
2 tablespoons butter plus some for cooking the shallots and mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
1/2-3/4 cup soy milk (or regular)
1/3-1/2 cups white wine
2-3 tablespoons cream cheese/ soy cream cheese (optional)
salt and pepper
What you do:
1. To begin the mushroom sauce, heat a frying pan, add a little butter and cook the shallots for a minutes. Then add the garlic and mushrooms and fry until the mushrooms are cooked through. Set aside.
2. Heat the butter, then add the 2 tablespoons of flour. Cook for a minute or two, then gradually add the soy milk (or regular milk), stirring each time you’ve added a little, making sure it doesn’t get lumpy. Before it gets too runny begin adding the wine, a little at a time.
3. Add the mushroom and shallot mixture to the cream sauce, then add salt and quite a bit of pepper to taste, along with the sage. Set this aside, reheating just before serving.
4. To begin making the pancakes, heat a frying pan and add a little butter, then the leeks, and cook for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the leeks to cool a little.
5. Beat the egg whites until they are very fluffy and a peak forms when you take the beater out.
6. Mix the egg yolks into the flour, salt and pepper. Fold the egg whites into this yolk mixture, then add the leeks, stirring until it is just combined.
7. Heat a frying pan to medium high. I made small pancakes so they wouldn’t break apart easily. Try making one first to see how long they take to cook and to make sure your pan is the right temperature. When one side has browned nicely it’s time to flip it, then the other side needs about a minute.
8. I like to serve them as soon as they come off the pan and eat them while they’re hot. Top with the mushroom sauce and a little grated parmesan.
