Staff Secret: The Danish Harvest Twist

At Richard Walker’s Pancake House in Carlsbad, locals know there is more to breakfast than what’s printed on the menu. Hidden behind the scenes is a Carlsbad-only secret menu favorite that our team loves to make. It has even become a daily ritual for our manager, Megan, who affectionately refers to it as her “Morning Pizza.”

This hidden gem begins with our famous Danish Harvest, a savory oven-baked dish crafted with fresh broccoli, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms, all bubbling beneath a blanket of creamy Havarti cheese imported from Denmark. Megan adds her own creative twist, transforming it into a Mexican-inspired breakfast favorite that is both bold and comforting.

Her go-to version includes a hearty scoop of Soy Chorizo for a smoky, savory kick, accompanied by a side of house-made salsa that adds just the right amount of spice. It is colorful, flavorful, and full of the bright, bold energy that makes breakfast in Carlsbad special. When she wants something heartier, she adds a few slices of Thick Sliced Bacon on top, creating a crave-worthy combo that genuinely lives up to its name: Morning Pizza.
