Description
Cheddar and Chive Savory Dutch Babies for Cozy Mornings
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt (use sea salt as an alternative)
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- 1.25 cups Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese (divided)
- 8 large eggs (fresh eggs yield the best results)
- 0.75 cup whole milk (almond milk makes a quick dairy-free alternative)
- 0.25 cup fresh chives (plus more for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard powder (omit if you don’t have it)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (consider a non-dairy butter for vegan diets)
- optional toppings (thinly sliced prosciutto or ham, thinly sliced radishes, and lightly dressed greens)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) and place a 12-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and ½ cup of the sharp cheddar cheese.
- In another bowl, crack 8 large eggs, add ¾ cup of whole milk, ¼ cup of finely chopped chives, and ½ teaspoon of mustard powder, then whisk until smooth.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt.
- Once the butter is melted, pour the prepared batter into the skillet, filling it no more than ¾ full.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Slice your Dutch Babies using a spatula, serve warm, and garnish with optional toppings.
