I call these cheese pancakes Weekend Cheese Pancakes, since weekend is the time when I actually manage to cook them. For understandable reasons, I cannot find time to prepare one of my favorite pancakes during the weekdays.
On Sunday mornings, I usually have online meetings with my clients. Then, I go for my run outdoors, and , afterwards, I like to treat myself with a delicious homemade meal. Cheese pancakes are one of the options.
The recipe requires a soft sweetened cheese. In Ukraine, it can be bought at mostly grocery markets. If your local stores don’t have this kind of cheese available there is a simple solution to substitute the required cheese with any other cheese that is soft and almost creamy by texture.
