Savory Dutch Baby

Catherine
This Savory Dutch Baby is surprisingly easy to make! Eggy, buttery, and herby goodness topped with crispy prosciutto, fried eggs, and a lemony spinach salad! So good and so impressive.

Ingredients
  

For the Dutch Baby

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup milk warm
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Toppings

  • 2 slices prosciutto
  • 2-4 eggs (depending on how many people you are serving)
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • Lemon Vinaigrette (or favourite salad dressing)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Put your cast iron pan in the oven to preheat as well.
  • Meanwhile, warm the milk on the stove so that it is just slightly warm but not scalding.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, eggs, warm milk, salt and dried thyme. Whisk them together to create a thin batter.
  • Once the pan is preheated, carefully remove it from the oven and add the butter to it. Swirl around the butter so that it coats the bottom and sides. Then, pour the batter in the pan and return it to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pancake is a nice golden brown.
  • While the dutch baby is baking, heat a frying pan and add the prosciutto slices, cooking for a couple of minutes over medium heat. Be sure to flip them. Once they are crisped up, remove them.
  • Add 1 teaspoon oil to the frying pan and heat it. Then add the 2 eggs and fry them, with a lid on until the whites have set.
  • Toss baby spinach and tomatoes with some lemon vinaigrette.
  • Once the dutch baby is baked, top it with the spinach, tomatoes, eggs, and prosciutto. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
