Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (e.g. Gruyere or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) in the oven to heat up.
In a blender or a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Blend (or whisk) until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until melted and the skillet is evenly coated.
Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet and place it back in the oven immediately. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sides are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheese evenly over the Dutch Baby. Return to the oven for another 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
