Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 egg (preferably Eggoz Fresh Eggs)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Savory Filling:
- 4 Eggoz Fresh Eggs (for scrambled eggs)
- 4 strips of crispy bacon (or sausage)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favourite)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pancakes
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, one Eggoz Fresh Egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be a little lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Scoop ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and spread it slightly to form a small, round pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Repeat for the remaining batter.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
- n a separate skillet, cook the bacon (or sausage) until crispy, then set aside.
- Crack four Eggoz Fresh Eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
- Tip: For extra fluffy scrambled eggs, whisk a tablespoon of milk or cream into the eggs before cooking.
- Heat a pan with a small amount of butter over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently until the eggs are soft and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Savoury Pancake Tacos
- Place a pancake on a plate and fill it with scrambled eggs, bacon, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavour and freshness.
- Fold the pancake in half like a taco, and serve warm.

- Get Creative: You can swap out the bacon for sausage, ham, or even sautéed veggies to suit your taste.
