Soufflé vegetable pancakes
4 pancakes

  • approx 100g leftover cooked veg eg leeks, roots or broccoli, finely chopped

  • knob of butter (about 25g)

  • 25g plain flour

  • 150ml milk

  • ¼ tsp Dijon or coarse grain mustard

  • handful grated cheddar (or use whatever cheese you have left in the fridge) + a little extra for sprinkling

  • salt + pepper to season

  • 2 eggs, yolks + whites separated

Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook gently, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. Lower the heat right down and gradually add the milk, stirring. Increase the heat and stir until the sauce has thickened. Add the mustard and cheese and season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then stir in the egg yolks, then the leftover veg. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form a soft peak. Carefully fold into the veg mixture. Put the pancakes in a baking dish and spoon some of the veg mixture down the middle of each pancake. Fold the over on both sides to make an open ended parcel. Sprinkle with a little extra cheese and bake at 200C for 20 minutes
