Herb and cheese blini – savory herb pancakes with cheese

Dieser Beitrag ist auch verfügbar auf: Deutsch

Tender blini dough, creamy cheese and fresh herbs are combined in these pancakes. They not only taste incredibly delicious and are particularly aromatic, but also look good enough to eat. Whether for breakfast, as a snack or for a buffet – the herb pancakes with cheese are versatile to serve. Moreover, they are easy and quick to make. A detailed herb and cheese blini recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.

What herbs for the recipe?

I made the herb and cheese blini with dill and parsley. They combine perfectly with each other and with the dough in terms of taste, I think. Plus, they smell incredibly delicious.

Alternatively, you can use just dill or just parsley for the recipe – depending on which you like.

Or test completely different herbs to your taste. Use fresh chives and cilantro, for example. Or try the pancakes with basil.

Which cheese can I use?

For the herb pancakes I used ready-made organic grated cheese. It was a mixture of different cheeses.

If you like, you can also buy a whole piece of cheese and then grate it with a grater. Which type of cheese you use depends on your taste.

Experiment with spices

While I’ve never experimented with spices in this herb pancakes recipe, I can imagine that it would make them taste even heartier. For example, you can mix in some paprika powder** to the blini batter. You can add heat to the herb and cheese blini with crushed garlic.

Tell me in a comment, with which spices you refined the pancakes, and how they tasted to you.

Which pan can I use?

Use a coated pan that nothing will stick to. Grease it only before the first pancake.

Since this batter contains pieces of cheese and herbs, it doesn’t melt in the pan as easily as regular blini batter. That’s why I used a small pan. On a not so large surface, such a batter is easier and faster to spread.

Of course, a larger pan also works. Then you can help the batter to spread with a spoon. But you have to act quickly, because a pancake cooks quickly in a hot pan.

A pancake panbag**  is also very suitable for baking the herb and cheese blini.

How to serve herb pancakes with cheese?
