Whisk egg, milk and flour into a smooth batter, then stir in finely chopped spinach. Pour a thin layer into a lightly oiled pan and cook both sides over medium heat. Avoid adding wet spinach, which can make the batter hard to handle.
Yes, frozen spinach works well in a spinach pancake. Thaw it completely and squeeze out as much water as possible before mixing it into the batter, or the pancake may turn watery and fall apart.
A spinach pancake often sticks when the pan is not properly heated or lightly oiled. Let the underside cook until the edges begin to release before flipping; moving it too soon can tear the pancake.
A spinach pancake can become soggy when the spinach releases too much water or the cooked pancakes are stacked while steaming. Drain thawed spinach well, cook over medium heat, and let each pancake cool briefly on a plate or rack.
Yes, crumbled feta makes a spinach pancake more savory and pairs naturally with the greens. Stir a modest amount into the batter or add it as a filling, and taste before adding salt because feta is already salty.
Serve a spinach pancake with plain or garlic yogurt, or add a simple salad for a light meal. For breakfast or brunch, tomatoes, cucumber and olives make easy savory accompaniments.
Yes, you can mix spinach pancake batter a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Stir it before cooking, since the ingredients may settle and the spinach may release a little liquid.
Yes, cooked spinach pancakes can be frozen once completely cool. Place baking paper between them and pack them in an airtight container or freezer bag so they can be separated without tearing.
Reheat a spinach pancake briefly in a lightly oiled pan over low to medium heat, turning once. Avoid prolonged microwaving, which can make its texture tough or rubbery.
A spinach pancake is usually savory because spinach pairs naturally with ingredients such as feta, herbs and yogurt. Some recipes use a plain pancake-style batter, so the final flavor depends on the seasonings and toppings.

A spinach pancake is a savoury, pan-cooked pancake made by folding chopped spinach into a simple batter. It is a flexible home-cooking dish rather than a single regional specialty, and recipes vary in how much spinach they use and whether the leaves are cooked first.
Soft and lightly savoury, it works for breakfast or lunch, served warm on its own or with yoghurt, salad or a little cheese. In Turkey, spinach-filled pancakes can make a convenient breakfast alongside tea; elsewhere, they fit easily into a light meal or brunch. At 145 calories per 100 g, it is filling without being especially heavy. Use a non-stick pan with little oil and add fresh vegetables for a lighter plate.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
