Method
- Whisk the flour, 1 egg and milk together until smooth.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Crack the eggs on one side and add the mushrooms on the other and fry for 3-4 mins, stirring the mushrooms occasionally, until both are cooked.
- Meanwhile, add a drizzle of the remaining oil to a separate large nonstick frying pan and pour in half the pancake mixture. Swirl the pan to evenly coat and cook for 2 mins until the batter has set, then flip and cook for a further 2 mins. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Fill the pancakes with the grated cheese and mushrooms and top with the egg. Serve with the rocket on the side.
