Raspberry and goat cheese pancakes

Author Notes

There is something always so special about a raspberry. They feel like such a treat to me even though we have our own bushes and eat them often. This is how I show off my beloved raspberry. Start with a sweet pancake, add the tang of goat cheese. Throw in some lemon and thyme. Fold in the egg whites. Finish with raspberries. You have a pancake that needs no syrup. This is the pancakes you make for your weekend guests to make them feel special. —MyCommunalTable

A local wonderful brunch restaurant makes Goat cheese pancakes. I wanted to try making them for the Christmas-time family visit, I was nervous about the amount of sugar and Thyme. I used all the sugar but less thyme, and added a touch of lavender as well... I used blueberries as that is what I had. They were amazing. The listed thyme was probably fine, but I didn't want to risk it with a picky eater in the group. This will be a family tradition. Wonderful

I have and it works really well. I like all berries with the tang of goat cheese. I have also done with feta, no berries,upped the thyme & lemon a bit, then topped it with yogurt and honey. Have fun with it. I can't wait to hear about it.

These look just delicious. I have a couple of raspberry fans here who also happen to be goat cheese fans. Must try these.

I am lucky about having our own bushes. I do not tend them well, so I have more every year. Teehee. They grow like crazy.

YUM! Love all the supporting flavors you have here, while still allowing the raspberry to shine. My son could live on pancakes (he is three and eats like a kid three times his age when it comes to pancakes) and I'm looking forward to making these soon!

It's a tablecloth that I had already on my table on my porch. When I walked out to get the picture, I was shocked it went so well. Thanks, lapadia
