Don’t you get bored of having the same thing every day?? Most of the time when I am on the run; I am content with whole grain toast and some sort of cheese to down with my coffee…..But on days when the need slow down arises I love to have a healthier fuller meal that involves eggs. On other days I mix different grains like quinoa, rolled oats, rye and barley.
Our hens have been working hard on producing the most beautiful rich eggs you can find anywhere. We feed them organic food and whatever comes out of our kitchen (they love that the best) and whatever weeds come out from the garden.
So, the other day I wanted to try something new. I had two components, leftover grain mix from the day before and eggs. I thought a whole grain savory patty/pancake would be a good replacement to bread….
If you have all the ingredients you can omit rolled rye and barley but keep the quinoa and oat; quinoa adds texture and oat adds body and holds the pancakes.
And, here what came out………..
Multi Grain Pancake
Ingredients: Serves: 2
½ cup rolled grain mix ½ cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water 3 tbs. garlic or onion chives, finely chopped
1 egg ¼ tsp. salt, black pepper to taste
2 tbs. olive oil
Instructions:
Place quinoa in a pot with the water and cook on medium heat until half of the water is absorbed. Add grain mix, reduce heat and cook until water is absorbed and mix binds together. Cool down. In the meantime beat the egg with chives, salt and pepper, add to grains and incorporate together. Form into six patties. Heat your oil on medium high and fry pancake about 3 minutes on each side or until it’s crisp and is not sticking to the pan.
Serve with your favorite style off eggs. Mine is fried in olive oil.
