In a large mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, cheese, lemon juice and zest, melted butter, milk, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add pancake mix and stir until just combined.
In an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, whip egg whites to soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter. Do not overmix.
