  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon (cooked crisp and crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp chives (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for the skillet)
  • Drizzle of honey or hot honey (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place a cast-iron skillet (10–12 inch) in the oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and slightly frothy. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add 1 tbsp butter, and swirl to coat.
  4. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet and sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese and bacon pieces.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown at the edges.
  6. Sprinkle with parsley and chives. Optionally drizzle with honey or hot honey.
  7. Slice and serve warm straight from the skillet.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Skillet size is crucial for the best rise. Can be made ahead of time; keep batter covered in the fridge.
