How to Make

  • Step 1: The Cakes: Mix in a large bowl, the flour, baking powder and the salt; separate the spinach as much as possible and add to the flour mix with the shredded cheese, mix well and make a well in the center, set aside.

  • Step 2: In another bowl mix together the eggs, milk, sun dried tomatoes with their oil, mix well and pour into the well in the flour mix; Mix only until well moistened. Dough will be lumpy.

  • Step 3: On a grill or a large fry pan drop 1/4 cup of dough, spread lightly, do not crowd. Grill 'til bubbles appear on the edges and the cake raises; about 3 to 4 minutes flip and brown the other side; remove to oven proof platter, keep warm in a 200°F degree oven. Repeat until all batter is used.

  • Step 4: Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce: Heat butter in saucepan; mix together flour, cayenne and dry mustard; add to butter, stirring constantly until thickened, about 1 minutes.

  • Step 5: Slowly add milk while constantly stirring with a whisk. Bring to boil while whisking, when thickened remove from heat. Immediately add shredded smoked Gouda cheese, stirring until melted; keep warm.

  • Step 6: Put Together:

  • Step 7: Arrange cakes in a pile on platter; pour cheese sauce over and let drip down sides. Or serve cheese sauce separately and pour over cakes on individual plates
