A quick and easy savory Dutch baby pancake featuring crispy bacon and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for brunch or dinner with a satisfying texture and bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¾ cup whole milk (or dairy-free milk like oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats up for about 10 minutes.
  2. Dice the bacon and cook it in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the flour, whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts and add the butter. Swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  6. Immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet. Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the batter, then add the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed with golden, crispy edges and a tender center.
  8. Remove from oven carefully. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Preheat the skillet to ensure crispy edges and good rise. Whisk batter until frothy for light texture. Cook bacon until crispy but not burnt. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispiness.
