Bacon Camembert Dutch Baby Pancake
Less expected than an egg bake and far faster to make than a quiche, the Bacon Camembert Dutch Baby looks and tastes like a decadent treat, while offering the same comforting flavors and hearty textures as a weekend brunch staple.

Bacon Camembert Dutch Baby Pancake
Prep Time20 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time25 Minutes
Ingredients
4 ounces bacon, chopped (about ½ cup)
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon baking powder
8 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped chives, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 - 5.3-ounce wheel of Camembert, rind on and cut into 1/4-inch slices (not wedges)
Directions
- Heat oven to 425 F. Place the bacon in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, then set it over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon has browned on the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then whisk the egg mixture into the flour. Stir in the Parmesan and half the chives.
- Once the bacon is crisp and brown, raise the heat to medium-high and add the butter, stirring until melted. Pour the batter into the skillet, then quickly arrange the Camembert pieces on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and serve immediately.
