Savory Cheddar & Bacon Dutch Baby
A deliciously fluffy and flavorful dish combining crispy bacon and sharp cheddar cheese, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 large large eggs (room temperature) For best texture, use room temperature eggs.
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole milk (room temperature) Room temperature milk helps the batter mix well.
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted) Butter should be melted before adding.
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar provides a strong flavor.
- 4 slices bacon (cooked crisp and crumbled)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped) Used for garnishing.
- 1 tbsp chives (optional) Use if desired for garnish.
- 1 tbsp butter (for the skillet) For greasing the skillet.
- 1 drizzle honey or hot honey (optional, for serving) Adds a sweet touch to the dish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place a cast-iron skillet (10–12 inch) in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add 1 tablespoon of butter, and swirl it to coat the pan.
- Immediately pour the batter into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the batter evenly with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until it is puffed and golden brown at the edges.
- Sprinkle the Dutch baby with parsley and chives. Optionally, drizzle with honey or hot honey for a sweet-savory kick.
- Slice and serve warm straight from the skillet.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at low temperature for best results. Using room temperature ingredients is crucial for texture.
