Crispy pancakes with ham and cheese can serve as a base for more varied versions. You can serve these prepared pancakes with a warm tomato or mushroom sauce, or a cold garlic or herb sauce. Pancakes with cheese and ham also pair well with diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic and fresh herbs, drizzled with olive oil.

Instead of ham, you can mix grated cheese with grated zucchini and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. You can also use well-marinated tofu pieces or lightly toasted canned beans to add flavor and texture.
