Savory Dutch Baby

April 20, 2019 by Sophie Leave a Comment

Happy weekend friends!

I’m so excited to be sharing this dutch baby with you!

Nevin and I came to love dutch babies when we moved to Pittsburgh, and we make them fairly often now on the weekends. They’re so good! And this is our first savory one! Now I can’t decide if I like sweet or savory best.

As you all may remember, I posted this sweet dutch baby back in January.

Well this little babe is topped with my favorite savory breakfast things. Fried eggs, avocado, goat cheese and herbs. Yum. A brunch lover’s dream.

That’s what I always want in my french crepes, so it’s no surprise that I chose those toppings for this application as well. Dutch babies remind me of crepes. But they have their own unique flair! The crispy edges are always the best part.

A dutch baby would be the perfect Easter brunch dish, because they look so impressive and they’re so easy! If you have multiple cast iron pans you could bang out a few at once if you need to feed a crowd. I mean, look how beautiful that is!

Prep: 10mCook: 25mYield: One 10-inch dutch babyTotal: 0h 35m

Fluffy popover pancake with a savory spin! Fried eggs, fresh herbs, avocado & goat cheese make this the perfect brunch dish.

You'll Need...

  • Dutch baby:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Chopped fresh herbs (chives, thyme, rosemary)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Toppings:
  • 2 eggs, fried
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • Chopped fresh herbs (see above)
  • Goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and whisk together. Next add the eggs and milk, and whisk until you have a smooth very thin batter. Fold in the fresh herbs (save some for garnish).
  2. Add the butter to a cast iron skillet (10 inches) and melt in the oven. Once your butter is melted (make sure it doesn't burn!), pour the batter into the skillet over the butter and bake for 20 minutes until fluffy and golden. Lower the oven to 300 degrees and bake another 5 minutes. Slice and serve immediately with desired toppings.
  3. While the dutch baby is baking: Prepare your toppings. Cook your eggs to your preference -- I like mine runny so either over-easy or sunny side up-- & prep the avocado, goat cheese and herbs. Assemble by scattering your various toppings over the pancake right when it comes out of the oven.

Additional Notes

Switch up the toppings to your liking!
You can also make these as a sweet dish! See my other dutch baby post in the blog archives.

Don’t you just love the way they puff up so majestically? (Yes, I firmly believe that food is magical!)

I hope you all get to gather with family this holiday weekend and enjoy this lovely springtime.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🀀

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🀍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🀍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

A quilty wheat stalk pattern for the #mywheatstalk challenge by @artbreadlove. 🌾🀍 I love this quilty pattern because it’s such a fun one to score, and even with little variations it always bakes up beautifully. 

Got to use my new @thebreadmat for this bake (these are truly awesome @rosehillsourdough πŸ‘πŸ»). Scored as always with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame, and baked in my @challengerbreadware pan. Using the @sourly 5 minute score. 🀍🌾

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🀍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬› cameos!
