Onion Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Pancake with Honey Balsamic Dressing



Prep time:10 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
What you'll need:
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 Chopped Red Onion
1 Red Pepper/or cup of chopped pimentos
2 tablespoons of FINELY chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons of water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1/4 cup of crumbled goat cheese
1 cup of balsamic vinaigrette
2 tablespoons of honey

Alright so this is extremely easy, and really all you'll need to buy is the goat cheese, red pepper and thyme. So realistically speaking this meal might cost you ten dollars most at the store? Great with a red wine.
First things first.
1. Heat olive oil in skillet and cook onions and chopped red peppers in the skillet. Wait until the onions have become tender and brown, and the red pepper has softened. Afterwards pour water and very finely chopped thyme(make sure there aren't any lose stems in the mixture) into the skillet and stir scraping up any browned bits and such.

2. Meanwhile preheat oven to 450 degrees

3. Blend flour, milk, eggs, egg whites, vegetable oil, sugar, salt and pepper in a mix bowling. whisk until smooth(like pancake batter). Pour the batter over the onions and peppers. Sprinkle with goat cheese.

4.Put the skillet in the oven and bake the pancake for about 15 minutes or so, or until it is puffed and golden.

5.Meanwhile cook the balsamic vinaigrette and honey in a small saucepan and boil over medium heat for about ten minutes. I added pepper and dried basil leaves but it's good without it too. Make sure to watch this carefully to prevent burning!

Cut the pancake into wedges and serve with the balsamic sauce. Pretty good with a light salad, or share with friends as a filling, healthy lunch!



Make sure your roommates don't try to sneak up behind you looking like Gollum from Lord of the Rings due to lack of sleep from finals. Always make sure your fists are ready.
