Light and fluffy, these spinach souffle pancakes with roasted tomato and bacon are a perfect lazy Sunday brunch.
Imperial
Metric
Ingredients
Roasted Tomatoes
- 7 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbs olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Bacon
- 1 tbs lard or ghee
- 8 rashers free range bacon (no sugar or nitrates added)
Pancakes
- 4 free range eggs
- 1 x 5 oz bag baby spinach, washed
- ¼ cup almond meal
- 1 tsp salt
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
- Place the cherry tomatoes in a large bowl, and cover with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until roasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the pancakes. Separate two of the eggs. Place the egg whites into a clean bowl. Place the yolks and the two remaining eggs, spinach, almond meal and salt in a blender. Blitz until well combined and the spinach as been fully incorporated. Pour into a large bowl.
- Using electric beaters, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Place one spoonful of whipped egg whites into the spinach mixture. Mix well to combine. You don’t need to be too careful at this stage, as you are just incorporating the ingredients together. Fold in the remaining egg whites, this time being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Melt some lard or ghee in the pan, then spoon the spinach mixture into the pan. You may be able to fit 4-6 pancakes in the pan, depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook the other side until the pancakes are cooked through. Remove from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
- Meanwhile, in a second frying pan, cook the bacon to your liking. To serve, evenly divide the pancakes over four plates. Top with roasted tomatoes and a side of bacon.

I am allergic to eggs. Is there a substitute I can use?
Hi Karen
Given this is an egg dish, there is no substitute for them unfortunately.

Hi Rebecca, Could these pancakes be frozen? I commute for an hr each way for work and usually have my breakfast at work. Trying to find some good breakfasts that I can make head of time and have on the go or to have at work on the Restricted Diet. Do you have any that are suitable?
I haven’t tried freezing them. They won’t be as fluffy, but should still work. Let me know how they go!
*sugar and nitrate free bacon… oops
Hi Bethany
I get mine from my local organic butcher so you might like to contact your local organic butcher and see if they can make it for you. I get a box of pork products delivered every month from the lovely people at Bundarra Berkshires (http://www.bundarraberkshiresshop.com). They do a heap of stuff that’s SIBO friendly (no sugar or nitrates). Contact Lauren and see if she can send products to you.
Kind regards
Rebecca
Hi Rebecca, just wondering where I can find sugar and nitrate bacon on the central coast
