Sausage And Mushroom Dutch Baby Food

HERB, SAUSAGE, AND CHEESE DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet into the oven while it preheats.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Combine eggs, milk, flour, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend until batter is smooth and thin, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully remove cast iron skillet from oven using an oven mitt and pour remaining 1 tablespoon butter into the skillet, quickly and carefully swirling to coat the skillet with butter. Pour batter into the skillet and transfer to the oven.
• Bake in the oven until puffed around the edges and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Top Dutch baby with Cheddar cheese, chives, fresh thyme, and crumbled sausage. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Slice and serve Dutch baby immediately.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wipe off or wash the mushrooms in cold water. Pop out the stems, reserving. Chop the mushroom stems finely and set aside.
• Crumble the sausage into a hot dry skillet and cook until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate to cool.
• Add the rosemary, sage, garlic and onions to the same skillet; cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet, allowing the liquid to evaporate for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set the mixture aside on a plate to cool.
• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and egg yolk. Add the Cheddar cheese and mix. Add the sausage and mushroom stems and stir together.
• Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon some of the sausage mixture into the cavity of each mushroom, filling the cap and creating a sizable mound over the top. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

MUSHROOM DUTCH BABY WITH CHORIZO POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes in a few places with a fork and microwave until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until browned, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 minute. Whisk 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the flour, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the mushrooms and sprinkle with the parsley. Transfer to the oven and bake until puffed and browned around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the chorizo in another large nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Chop the potatoes into bite-size pieces and add to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make 4 openings in the potato mixture and crack an egg into each spot; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the Dutch baby into wedges. Serve with the potatoes, chorizo and eggs; sprinkle with parsley.

SAVORY DUTCH BABY WITH BRATWURST AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the butter to the hot skillet and return it to the oven until the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Once the butter is melted, carefully pour the batter into the skillet and immediately return it to the oven. Bake until the Dutch baby is browned and puffed, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst and cook, stirring, until it is heated through and starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and apple and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture is evenly coated, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and simmer until the mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mustard and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the Dutch baby from the oven. Spoon some of the bratwurst mixture on top and sprinkle with parsley. Serve right away, passing the remaining bratwurst mixture at the table.

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and slice the apple 1/8 inch thick. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof crêpe pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the apple, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the cinnamon and toss well. Sauté the apple for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, tossing occasionally. Spread the apple out in the pan and keep hot over low heat.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.
