I originally made this ham and cheese dutch baby pancake recipe when it originally featured in the March 2017 edition of the BBC Good Food magazine. We both love yorkshire puddings, so we knew it was likely that we'd love this...and we did!
There's dijon mustard in the batter for the baby pancake which gives it a lovely flavour to go along with the perfect topping combination of ham and cheese, and tenderstem broccoli.
I made this ham and cheese dutch baby pancake again for an evening meal earlier this month and used our Ooni cast iron skillet pan to cook the pancake...wow did it rise!! We enjoyed it with some boiled baby potatoes and green beans on the side.
Tips
- The mustard crème fraiche is delicious - try it with chicken in a wrap or on a ham sandwich.
- The original recipe ingredients are full fat milk and crème fraiche, however, I used semi skimmed milk and 50% less fat crème fraiche - both worked really well.
- Serves 2 for an evening meal, but could serve 4 for lunch with some salad or extra vegetables on the side.
