Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup whole milk, warm
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaf
2 tablespoons fresh chives, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 oz pancetta, diced
1 shallot, medium, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 medium sweet potato, diced
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ bunch lacinato kale, stemmed, chopped into 1/2 in strips
¾ cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
2 eggs, sunny-side
fresh chive, thinly sliced
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the eggs, melted butter, milk, flour, and salt to a blender and blend on medium speed until frothy. Stir in the thyme and chives. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet in the oven to warm while it preheats.
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and melt the butter in the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Pour the batter into the hot pan and quickly return to the oven.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the Dutch baby is golden brown and has risen up the sides of the pan considerably.
  • While the Dutch baby bakes, make the filling: Add the pancetta to a cold, large, high-walled skillet. Turn the heat to medium and begin rendering the fat from the pancetta, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes. When the pancetta is crisp, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat behind.
  • Add the shallot to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the sweet potato to the pan and season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is golden brown and tender.
  • Add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes, until just wilted. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Assemble the Dutch baby. Once the Dutch baby is finished baking, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle all over with the shredded Gouda. Top with the sweet potato and kale hash, reserved pancetta, and sunny-side up eggs. Garnish with chives and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

DUTCH BABY



Dutch Baby image

I've had these a lot at B&B's, probably because they're delicious and dependable if the right technique is used. This dish is puffy around the outside and flat in the center offering the perfect nest for sliced fresh fruit. It's airy, light and makes a beautiful presentation. The batter can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.

CHEF JOHN'S DUTCH BABIES



Chef John's Dutch Babies image

I've always been fascinated by how many different breakfast foods you can create using just milk, eggs, and flour; and this is one of the more interesting examples. Especially considering the unusual, and borderline disturbing name. Sometimes called German pancakes, these have very little to do with Germany, and nothing to do with the Dutch. Apparently they were invented by German immigrants who were referred to as Dutch.

MEAN'S DUTCH BABIES



Mean's Dutch Babies image

A simple and tasty breakfast/brunch treat. This is an adopted recipe from the RecipeZaar account, and I am delighted to be the new owner of such a winning recipe. If you would like the inside of the finished dish to be a little less "egg-y" then cut the number of eggs down to 3, and many many reviewers also found that just 3 Tablespoons of butter worked better for them. Either way they did it, they all agreed that the taste was great. Enjoy!
