How To Make A Dutch Baby

This has to be my simplest recipe ever…and it’s SO delicious. A “Dutch Baby” is basically an oven-baked pancake. It actually tastes a lot like Yorkshire Pudding. Most people serve Dutch Baby’s with fruit, maple syrup and a dusting of icing sugar. But I’m doing something different today! A savory Dutch Baby – almost like a pizza – go figure!

Ingredients For My Savory Dutch Baby

For this delicious oven pancake, you’ll need 3 eggs, some milk – both at room temperature – some unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and some brown sugar. I use a pinch of nutmeg to give it a great flavor and a little bit of warm spice.

The first step is to add all of the Dutch Baby ingredients to a bowl (except the butter) and whisk them to a smooth batter. Super easy right?

After preheating the oven, you want to grab a 10-inch cast iron pan or any oven-proof pan. Toss the butter into the pan and place it into the hot oven. When the butter is melted, take the pan out and pour in the batter.

I bake my Dutch Baby for 20 minutes and it turns out just perfectly!

At this point, I sprinkle on my toppings. For this Dutch Baby, I added Cheddar cheese, tomato pieces, some oregano, and some fresh basil. There was no need to put it back into the oven to melt the cheese because it was hot enough on its own.

Didn’t I say it would be easy? This is a savory Dutch Baby. But honestly, use my recipe to make it any way you like. If you want to add slices of nectarines, peaches, or strawberries – go ahead! You can top all of that off with some maple syrup and have a delicious sweet pancake breakfast!
