Savory Bacon And Cheese Dutch Baby Pancake Food

SAVORY BACON DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp and fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons drippings in skillet.
• While bacon cooks, process eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a blender on medium speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
• Return skillet to medium heat; let heat 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat, and pour batter into skillet. Immediately transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake until Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown, about 18 minutes. Do not open oven while cooking.
• Remove Dutch baby from oven; immediately sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven; bake at 425°F until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon and chives; serve immediately.

SAVORY DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Place a medium ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, in center of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. Let skillet heat at least 25 minutes total (prepare your toppings while you wait).
• Blend eggs in a blender on high speed until very frothy, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually stream in milk, then 2 Tbsp. butter; blend another 30 seconds. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper and blend just to combine. (This batter doubles well if you want to scale up.)
• Carefully remove skillet from oven and swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in skillet to coat. Immediately pour batter into skillet (butter will brown quickly, so have batter at the ready to prevent burning). Bake pancake until puffed and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes. It will begin to deflate as soon as it comes out. Top as desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place bacon in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet, then set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat has rendered and bacon has browned on the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then whisk egg mixture into flour. Stir in Parmesan and half the chives.
• Once bacon is crisp and brown, raise heat to medium-high, and add butter, stirring until melted. Pour batter into skillet, then quickly arrange Camembert pieces on top.
• Transfer pan to the oven, and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining chives, and serve immediately.
