       When the pancakes are ready, the next step is to add the cheese filling. Please note that the filling needs to be added only to one side of the pancake and in a thin layer.

       The next stage, one of the most important, is the preparation of a natural and delicious sauce that will make our dish unique and incredibly delicious. And here the chef shares little secrets. For example, you do not need to add garlic immediately, but only after the butter, so that it does not taste bitter and does not disrupt the taste harmony of the sauce.

       And, the most pleasant moment, is to assemble our ready-made dish. We generously pour our ruby pancakes with a bright and savory sauce, they should be soaked in it.

       You can decorate the finished dish with finely chopped parsley. And the microgreens are responsible for the bright green strokes. However, being imaginative is only welcome!
