SAVORY BACON DUTCH BABY
Impress your brunch crowd with this savory, bacon-filled skillet pancake. The recipe calls for a 10-inch cast iron skillet, but you can use a smaller 8-inch skillet and the Dutch baby will puff up a little higher. Don't use a skillet larger than an 11-inch, however. This is an incredibly easy dish to prepare, but there are a few steps that are crucial for success. Make sure your ingredients are room temperature and leave the oven door closed the entire baking time. The Dutch baby will deflate almost immediately once you remove it from the oven, so plan on serving this immediately. This is not a make-ahead dish, so have your guests ready to go with forks in hand. It even resembles a pull-apart bread, which makes it an unexpected and fun appetizer. We recommend using thick-cut bacon in this recipe because the chopped pieces hold their shape when baked into the pancake. You get extra bacon flavor by using the reserved bacon fat to cook the batter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp and fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons drippings in skillet.
- While bacon cooks, process eggs, milk, flour, melted butter, salt, and pepper in a blender on medium speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
- Return skillet to medium heat; let heat 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat, and pour batter into skillet. Immediately transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake until Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown, about 18 minutes. Do not open oven while cooking.
- Remove Dutch baby from oven; immediately sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven; bake at 425°F until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon and chives; serve immediately.
BACON CORNBREAD DUTCH BABY
Steps:
- For the Dutch baby: Cut the bacon slices in half and place into a cold 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place into a cold oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. When the oven comes up to temp, set a timer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, pepper and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, eggs, green onion and jalapeño until the batter is smooth.
- When the timer goes off, carefully remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Carefully pour the prepared batter into the pan and bake without opening the oven door, until golden brown and very puffy, 15 to 18 minutes.
- For the garnishes: While the Dutch baby cooks, melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Reheat the bacon in the pan alongside the eggs.
- Cut the Dutch baby into four, top each piece with some bacon and an egg. Scatter with green onion, cilantro and Cheddar. Serve with hot sauce, salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Start with a very hot pan to ensure the pancake cooks evenly and has crispy edges.
- Use a spatula to scrape around the edges of the pancake and help it to rise.
- Don't overcook the pancake, as it will continue to cook in the residual heat.
- Serve the pancake immediately with your favorite toppings.
- For a savory pancake, try adding bacon, cheese, or vegetables.
- For a sweet pancake, try adding fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
The Dutch baby is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make a perfect Dutch baby every time.
