Shellfish pancakes: The perfect addition to a mimosa brunch

Everybody loves brunch. A fully-loaded breakfast in the late morning which can sometimes have an adult beverage and a whole lot of fun conversation. For brunch, breakfast gets turned up a bit and often has some flavour upgrades. Our shellfish pancakes are the perfect meal for those get-togethers with your best friends. It’s a delicious meal that pairs perfectly well with a mimosa in the morning.

Shellfish pancakes tips

The shellfish don’t just have those great flavours but provide protein and energy for a long feast. The bechamel sauce turns it into a beautifully rich meal that needs a tasty drink to go along with it. You can fill and cover the pancakes with the sauce and maybe add some cheese on top if you’re adventurous. I’ts a meal best enjoyed outdoors and shared with your best friends and family.
