Pancake is one of my favorite breakfast. It is very comforting to eat and easy to make. This "super-pancake" is packed with the essential protein, carbohydrates and vegetables needed to start the day. Zucchini is the main ingredient. The tomato topping adds nutrition and sweetness. This "super-pancake" is light, easy and healthy. Can be also served for lunch.
Adding some feta cheese, cottage cheese or sour cream gives more delightful taste.
Very simple and healthy ingredients, something you have in your kitchen. When choosing vegetables, I always prefer local produce. It's cheaper and fresher.
