Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 large eggs (for topping)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• Olive oil (for cooking)
• Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Savory Pancake Stack with Egg and Greens

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, one egg, and melted butter, then mix well.
2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
5. In a separate skillet, fry the two eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.
6. To assemble, stack two pancakes on a plate, top with sautéed spinach, and then add a fried egg on top. Drizzle with sour cream and maple syrup. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
• Make sure not to overmix the pancake batter; this keeps them fluffy.
• Adjust the cooking time for the eggs based on your preference for doneness.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.

Easy Variations

• Substitute kale or arugula for the spinach for a different flavor.
• Add cheese, such as feta or cheddar, to the pancake batter for extra richness.
• Top with avocado slices for a creamy addition.
• Experiment with different sauces, like a spicy aioli or a tangy vinaigrette.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a sweet contrast
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory side
• A light salad with a lemon vinaigrette
• Freshly brewed coffee or herbal tea
