Description
A puffy, savory skillet pancake with crispy bacon and melted cheddar, perfect for brunch or a cozy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Measure and shred the cheddar. Place the cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
- In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy, about 20-30 seconds.
- Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Melt unsalted butter in the skillet over medium heat until foamy. Pour the batter into the hot skillet so it sizzles. Scatter cheddar and crumbled bacon over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a simple green salad, topped with a poached egg for extra richness, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet-savory contrast.
