Ingredients

Savory Topping

  • 1 small shallot finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme fresh, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary fresh, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

German Pancake Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • 1 cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-3 tablespoons hot water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Topping Ideas

  • 4 large poached eggs
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced shallots and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the chopped thyme and rosemary. Continue to cook until the herbs are fragrant and the shallots are slightly golden brown. Use a spoon to remove the herbs from the skillet, set aside.
  • Add 5 tablespoons of butter to a 14" cast iron skillet and place in the oven to melt. Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, salt, and flour into a blender. Blend for about 15 seconds until all the ingredients are well-combined and frothy. 
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the hot oven and swirl to make sure all of the edges are covered in melted butter. 
  • Pour the blended German pancake batter into the skillet, add the herb mixture to the top, and finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Place the skillet back into the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown.
  • Once cooked through, remove from the oven. Add your favorite toppings such as warmed deli ham, poached eggs, coarse salt, and hollandaise sauce. Enjoy!

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the butter. Set it aside and let it come to room temperature.
  • In a blender, add the egg yolks and blend for 2 minutes.  Turn the blender on low and slowly drizzle in the melted butter (should take about 30-60 seconds). Next, slowly add the lemon juice and the hot water to create the consistency of gravy.  Add the pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper while blending.  
  • Remove from the blender and use immediately.

Notes

Storing leftovers: Dutch babies are best eaten soon after they are made. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: reheat in a microwave or in a preheated 350 degree oven until warmed through.
