Storage Tips

The Spinach and Feta Pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month. To store in the fridge, allow the pancakes to cool completely and store them in an airtight container.

To freeze the pancakes, allow them to cool completely and then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.

When ready to eat, simply thaw the pancakes in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or on a skillet. Alternatively, the pancakes can be reheated directly from frozen in the toaster or toaster oven.

To add some freshness to the reheated pancakes, you can top them with additional chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese, or serve them with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
