Ingredients

For the pancakes

  • 100 grams plain flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 250 millilitres milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the filling

  • 400 grams spinach
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 400 grams chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • 175 grams blue cheese crumbled
  • Salt and pepper

For the topping

  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • Put your flour and salt into a large bowl and again make a well in the middle. Add one egg and whisk to make a paste.
  • Next add in half the milk and bring it into a smooth batter.
  • Stir in the rest of the milk slowly and then whisk until it’s smooth and bubbly!
  • Get your pan piping hot and brush it with oil. You don’t want too much fat in the pan. Ladle a large spoon of batter into the pan and tilt the pan until the whole bottom is covered in a thin layer.
  • Allow to cook for 2 mins until crispy on the bottom. Flip and cook for a further 2 mins or until golden!
  • Repeat until you have used up all of the pancake batter.
  • Place each pancake on a plate, cover with tin foil and place in the oven on a very low heat while you cook the rest of the dish.
  • Cook the spinach in a dry frying pan over a medium to low heat until wilted.
  • Let the spinach cool slightly before squeezing out as much moisture as possible with your hands.
  • Add the butter to the frying pan with a splash of olive oil and let the butter melt gently.
  • Add in the sliced mushrooms and a little salt and pepper to season.
  • Sautee the mushrooms until they are soft.
  • Add in the spinach and the blue cheese and cook on a low heat until the cheese begins to melt.
  • In the meantime, add enough oil to a frying pan to coat the bottom along with another tablespoon of butter.
  • When the butter melts crack the eggs into the pan and let cook.
  • After a minute or so, tilt the pan and baste the eff by spooning some of the oil over the top of the egg.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking.
  • To serve, lay two pancakes on to a plate and spoon over the spinach and mushroom mix.
  • Top with a fried egg (and, if you're feeling really naughty) top with a little more blue cheese) and some cracked black pepper.
