Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, gruyère, or parmesan)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy and well combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Once the oven and skillet are fully preheated, carefully remove the skillet using oven mitts. Add the butter, letting it melt and coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top, followed by the chopped chives and ground black pepper.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Pair with sour cream, a side salad, or additional herbs for garnish, if desired.
