Ingredients

For the bacon

  • 8 slices peameal bacon

For the pancakes

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Oil, for frying
  • Sour cream, for serving

For the Corn and Zucchini Relish

  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 ½ cups small diced zucchini (about 1 zuchinni)
  • ½ cups small diced red pepper
  • ½ cup small diced white onion
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet
  3. Place the peameal bacon on a baking sheet. Place it on the middle rack of the oven and cook it for 12-15 minutes until it’s pale pink and just cooked through.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese. Stir in the green onions, flour and hot sauce, baking powder, salt and pepper until no white streaks of flour remain.
  5. In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, heat about 2 teaspoons of oil. Ladle in about ⅓ cup of batter per pancake. The batter will spread so don’t crowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom edges are set and bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. For the corn and zucchini relish. Add the corn, zucchini, red pepper, white onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, ground coriander and pepper to a small pot. Stir to combine. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still have a little bite to them. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley
  7. To assemble: Start with a pancake, slather the pancake with sour cream, top it with a slice of peameal and top with some corn and zucchini relish. Repeat this process with the remaining pancakes, bacon and relish. Top with sour cream and remaining relish.
