Egg Pancaco


Ok, first recipe ever so only fitting to go with a staple of my breakfast table.  Egg pancaco. egg pancakes styled like a taco. i'm hilarious i know.

The idea for this dish actually came from some random tv show i was watching the other day.  This dude was making egg salad (pretty good actually, recipe for that later) and he was making these really thin egg pancakes for the egg portion of the salad.  Watching this, i actually thought he was going to put the vegs and wrapped it in the pancake right. Which would have been brilliant. But he didn't, instead he went mad with his kitchen knife, slayed the poor pancake and tossed it in his salad.  Moral of this story? i don't know BUT twas definitely a case of... what's the opposite of instant gratification? startling upset?

Anyways its the perfect dish to start off your day. delicious and rich in proteins.
This is basically an eggs-bacon-cheese dish.  What you need:

  • 2 eggs
  • cheese (any kind, though i prefer mild cheddar for this)
  • 1 piece streaky bacon, chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 onion, finely diced
  • dried oregano
  • salt & pepper to season
Oh also for this recipe you will definitely be needing a good non-stick pan.  What to do:

Egg Pancake:
  1. crack 1 egg, season with salt & pepper and beat with a fork.
  2. place non-stick pan on low heat.
  3. pour the egg into the pan and spread into a thin even pancake.

4. keep pan on heat until the outer edge of the pancake starts to brown.
    5. remove pancake from the pan unto a plate.
        
Fillings:
  1. oil pan and put on medium heat
  2. lightly cook bacon and diced onion in pan.
  3. put the pan on very low heat.
  4. break an egg over bacon & onion and use a spoon to scramble the egg.
  5. remove the pan from heat once egg is done.
  6. season with salt & pepper (optional, the bacon tends to be quite salty already so season at your own discretion)
Place the cheese & scrambled eggs on top of the egg pancake.
Fold the pancake in half and put it back on the pan with very low heat to crisp up the pancake & melt the cheese (if it hasn't already)
Flip the pancake over and heat the other side.
Voila, Pancaco.

Simple, takes about 10-15 minutes to make and you can substitute the fillings with whatever you like, although i don't recommend eliminating cheese out of the equation since that is a mortal sin. 

Yield: 1 serving.
