Method

  1. To make the pancakes, combine the milk, egg, spinach, chives, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until well mixed and bright green. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the cheese.

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt about 1 teaspoon of butter. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet and spread it slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook until the top is set and starting to bubble, and the undersides are browned and crisp at the edges, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Adjust the heat if needed. Serve immediately or keep warm by covering loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. You should have around 8 to 10 pancakes.

  3. To make the fried eggs, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Crack the eggs into individual bowls and carefully slide them into the pan side by side. Cook until the outer edges turn opaque, about 1 minute. Then, cover the skillet, lower the heat, and continue cooking for 4 minutes for a fully cooked yolk or 5 minutes for a medium yolk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. To serve, place 2 pancakes on each plate. Top with 1/2 cup of corn
