Ingredients
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (e.g. Gruyere or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
In a blender or a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Blend (or whisk) until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until melted and the skillet is evenly coated.
Step 4
Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet and place it back in the oven immediately. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sides are puffed and golden brown.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheese evenly over the Dutch Baby. Return to the oven for another 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
