Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 50 g smoked diced bacon
  • 75 g cremini or king oyster mushrooms, sliced
  • A pinch of cayenne
  • 100 g white spelt flour (Type 630)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 150 ml whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grainy Dijon mustard
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons chopped chives, plus more for serving
  • 65 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g crumbled blue cheese

To serve (optional)

  • Microgreens
  • Chopped chives
  • Chili flakes or sriracha chili sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C (200°C fan-assisted).
  2. In a 22-24 cm cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and mushrooms. Cook just until the mushrooms are golden brown and bacon is crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Add a pinch of cayenne and stir to combine. Transfer to plate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon, chives, salt and pepper. Add the flour and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix! The batter will have a few lumps, which is fine.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the butter smells nutty and turns brown (not burned - watch carefully!); about 5 minutes. Swirl the skillet so the butter also coats the sides of the pan.
  5. Gently pour the batter into the skillet, and scatter the bacon mushroom mixture over top in the center of the egg batter, leaving a 2,5 cm border to allow the batter to puff as it bakes.
  6. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden, 18-20 minutes.
  7. Top the Dutch baby with the blue cheese while it's still warm. Sprinkle on the microgreens, extra chives and a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
