Savory Dutch Baby
Description
The Savory Dutch Baby starts with a simple batter of room-temperature eggs, whole milk, flour, salt, and melted butter blended until smooth and thin. A preheated 10-inch cast iron skillet is coated with butter before pouring in the batter. Shredded mozzarella cheese is sprinkled on top before baking at high heat (425°F) for 20 to 25 minutes, causing the batter to puff dramatically around the edges.
The result is a light pancake with crispy, golden edges and a soft, custardy center. The melted mozzarella adds creamy, mild savory flavor, while fresh chives sprinkled on finish the dish with a fresh herbal note. The skillet’s heat ensures a crisp bottom crust and even rising.
This dish is ideal as a warm brunch item or a simple lunch served with sides like salad or roasted vegetables. It can be enjoyed hot for the best texture and flavor.
The recipe yields one 12-inch Dutch Baby, suitable for about two to three servings. Using a cast iron skillet and room-temperature ingredients helps achieve proper puff and texture.
