Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter
    In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Add thyme, chives, and Parmesan cheese and pulse a few times just to incorporate. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Preheat the pan
    Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Allow the pan to heat for at least 10 minutes while the batter rests.
  3. Prepare the pan and bake
    Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter and swirl to coat the bottom and sides as it melts. Immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet and quickly return it to the oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. The Dutch baby will rise dramatically around the edges.
  4. Add toppings
    Remove the Dutch baby from the oven (be aware that it will begin to deflate almost immediately, which is normal). Top with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese or feta, and torn pieces of crispy prosciutto or bacon.
  5. Garnish and serve
    Sprinkle with additional fresh thyme leaves and freshly ground black pepper. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while still warm and slightly puffed.
