    This savory Dutch baby is filled with melty mozzarella and fresh chives—simple, delicious, and seriously impressive on any brunch, lunch, or dinner table.

    Herb and cheese dutch baby in a skillet with a towel around the handle.Weekends are for breakfasting + brunching. That’s just a fact. It’s a time to be able to take a little more time in the morning to cook a great meal. Today we’re properly breakfasting by making this Herb and Cheese Dutch Baby!

    Dutch babies aren’t difficult to pull together, but sometimes the rise aspect can be a little finicky. The trick is to make sure the batter is thin + lump less and that the pan you’re adding the batter to is nicely greased and piping hot. If you follow those basic guidelines you’ll get a light, airy and delicious Dutch baby and you can proceed to properly Breakfast! :) Enjoy! xx, Jenny Herb and cheese dutch baby in a skillet with a slice taken out and a towel.

        If you’re going for a bunch vibe you can serve it with a mixed green salad. Bacon is also nice to serve alongside the dutch baby!

      Have you ever experimented with a gluten free flour such as almond or coconut? Would be curious to know if you can get similar results for a beautiful baby.

      Any reason I couldn’t add some ham or bacon to this?

        Nope, no reason! I would just add it to the center of the Dutch baby, like the herb and cheese, and not the batter, so you don’t weigh it down!

      This looks so good, but one family member is lactose-intolerant. Do you have any ideas on how I might make this dairy-free?

        Use lactose-free/reduced milk and a very aged hard cheese…The more the cheese is aged the less lactose remains. (So, soft cheeses like Brie or cream cheese will have the highest lactose content. There are also Lactase Enzyme pills that can be purhased OTC to take with the first bite of a food containing lactose. It allows the person’s system to digest the lactose (milk sugar).
