Savor the comforting, rustic flavors of Sweden with this Oven Baked Swedish Bacon Pancake, or "Fläskpannkaka." This easy-to-make dish combines crispy, golden bacon with a light, custardy batter, all baked to perfection in the oven. With just a handful of pantry staples like flour, eggs, and milk, this savory pancake requires minimal prep time and delivers maximum flavor. The rich, smoky bacon is perfectly balanced by the option of serving it with a dollop of sweet-tart lingonberry jam, giving it an authentic Swedish flair. Ready in under 40 minutes, this dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a comforting weeknight dinner. Its golden crust and fluffy interior make it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion!
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Dice the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it is golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Slowly add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. The batter should be smooth.
Crack the eggs into the batter and whisk until fully combined. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter.
Grease a large oven-safe baking dish or roasting pan with butter. Spread the cooked bacon evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Pour the batter over the bacon, making sure it spreads out evenly.
Bake the pancake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is puffed up, golden brown on top, and fully set in the middle.
Remove the pancake from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and slice into generous portions.
Serve warm, optionally accompanied by lingonberry jam for a classic Swedish touch.
