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.

Sourdough hand pies! Or pop tarts?? Whatever you w Sourdough hand pies! Or pop tarts?? Whatever you wanna call them, they are delicious! A flaky all-butter pie dough made with sourdough discard, filled with your favorite jam, topped with a simple glaze. Pie is better than cake, no matter the form and I will die on this hill. 🥧

If you didn’t know, I feel equally passionate about pie as I do sourdough. These little hand pies are so cute, and really not hard if you just get over the whole pie dough thing. You can do it, I promise!

Dm me if you want the recipe, cuz I’m saving this one for my cookbook, but I’ll happily share it with friends. 🤍🥧

Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to sourdough waffle (and pancake) recipe. I love these because I swap ingredients all the time to try different flours and liquids. No buttermilk? Make your own, or just use milk and add some Greek yogurt for flavor. 🧇🌾🌽
•
Sourdough Waffles (and pancakes):
2 eggs
220g buttermilk
100g milk
5g vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
200g sourdough starter (can be active or discard)
50g sugar
6g baking soda
4g baking powder
5g salt
90g whole wheat flour
50g cornmeal
100g all-purpose flour

Whisk together the wet ingredients with the sugar until combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth. You may need to add more flour or milk to get it to the right consistency. Cook in a preheated waffle iron until golden and crisp.

Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I’ve scored a mandala loaf, so I was so excited to bake this babe. 🍞🌾 Some of my favorite tips for scoring a mandala pattern on sourdough:

👀 Plan your design. Sketch it out on paper before going to the loaf. It helps to have something to reference. Then use a toothpick to trace it out on your loaf. ✍🏻

🧊 Keep your cool. If you’re worried your loaf will pancake before you finish scoring, pop it in the freezer for 20 minutes beforehand to get it extra cold and easier to work with.

✨And my final tip, which goes for any pattern, don’t be afraid to try something new! Trust your instincts and often you’ll love the result, but even more importantly you’ll learn something new for next time. 🤓
