Buttery, skillet pancake perfection flavored with fresh herbs and cheddar cheese and topped with prosciutto and your favorite style of eggs!
Ingredients
For the Dutch Baby
- 3 medium eggs
- 1/2 cup AP flour
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste (optional - can easily substitute with vanilla extract)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, roughly minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, roughly minced
- 1 tablespoon green onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Filling
- 6-8 Prosciutto slices
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- Your choice of eggs, as desired*
- Thyme leaves, sliced chives, minced rosemary, for garnish
Instructions
- Place a large, oven safe skillet in the oven and preheat to 425˚F.
- While pan is heating, blend eggs, flour, milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, thyme, rosemary, green onion, and cheddar in a blender until smooth.
- Remove hot pan from the oven and add the butter, swirling the melting butter around to coat the pan.
- Pour batter into the pan and return to the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven. Top puffed pancake with the cheddar for the filling immediately. Throw back in the oven for a couple minutes to melt the cheese a little bit more if desired.
- Top with prosciutto slices and desired eggs (I made poached eggs*).
- Garnish with thyme leaves, chives, rosemary, and some fresh ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
For Poached Eggs: One at a time, crack one egg into a ramekin or small bowl. Gently stir the simmering water before adding the egg to create a whirlpool-like current and then slowly start to tip the egg into the water, white first. Cook for 3 minutes. Repeat this step with the second egg (you can have both eggs cooking in the pot at the same time). Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, cutting off any icky edges, and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
If poached eggs aren't your jam, you can also try over easy eggs or sunny side up eggs!
