I'm a big fan of American style pancakes (i.e. fluffy, rather than the pathetic crepe-wannabe nonsense they try to fob off on me here in London).
Recently, I've been experimenting with savoury pancakes, but without a great deal of success. Has anybody else tried this?
In particular, I'm keen to whip up something that...
The best combination so far is melted cheese with strips of crispy bacon. It's topped and bottomed with a pancake. It's OK, but the pancake is missing something. It's too bland, requiring too much cheese and/or bacon. But I can't seem to find that magic ingredient that transforms the pancake, so it can contribute to the flavour.
I'm happy to add herbs, spices and/or heat (e.g. chilli).
All comments and ideas gratefully received.

- Tastes great on its own
- Could replace toast in poached eggs and bacon on toast
- Has little or no salt (bacon is salty enough)
