Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.333 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet (10 inches in diameter) inside the oven to heat up as the oven preheats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth and lump-free. Ensure the batter is well aerated for a fluffy Dutch baby.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, swirling until fully melted and coating the skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet and immediately return it to the oven.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges. Avoid opening the oven during baking to ensure it rises properly.
While the Dutch baby is baking, prepare the toppings. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once the Dutch baby is finished baking, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface while it’s still hot.
Top the Dutch baby with the sautéed spinach and cherry tomato mixture. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese on top, letting it melt from the residual heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs such as parsley or chives for added flavor and brightness. Serve immediately while the Dutch baby is still warm and fluffy.
