savory dutch baby
Savory Dutch Babies are a good alternative to the sweet skillet pancakes that are typically served with powdered sugar sprinkled on top, or fresh berries topped with sweetened whipped cream. As good as they can be, sometimes a more savory dish seems more appropriate for brunch. And this Savory Dutch Baby is a great brunch dish and a great way to get your day started. The toppings for a savory Dutch Baby can be varied and include such things as avocado with chopped lettuce and quartered boiled eggs, or crumbled bacon with sauteed kale and a smoky aged cheddar.

How To Make savory dutch baby
-
Step 1Place a cast iron skillet (or oven-proof skillet), in center of oven, and preheat oven to 450°. Let skillet heat at least 25 minutes total (prepare your toppings while you wait).
-
Step 2With your food processor or blender on High speed, process eggs for 1 minute or until very frothy and bubbly. With motor running, gradually stream in milk and 2 Tbsp butter, and process another 30 seconds. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper, and process just enough to fully combine all ingredients. (This recipe doubles well, if you wish to increase servings.)
-
Step 3Carefully remove hot skillet from oven, and swirl remaining 1 Tbsp butter in hot skillet until melted. Immediately pour all of the batter into the skillet. (The butter will brown quickly, so have batter at hand and ready to pour, in order to prevent burning butter.)
-
Step 4Please skillet in oven, and bake the Dutch Baby for 20 minutes or until puffed and brown around the edges. It should deflate somewhat once it's removed from the heat.
-
Step 5Sprinkle the crumbled salmon across the top. Spoon the creme fraiche over the salmon, and distribute the spring onion strips across the top. Serve immediately.
