Ingredients

For the Dutch Baby

  • 3 large eggs Fresh, golden-hued eggs, full of protein.
  • 125 ml whole milk Creamy and rich, ensures a tender texture.
  • 75 g all-purpose flour The backbone of the batter.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder Adds a fragrant note.
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan Nutty and sharp, enhances flavor.
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter For a rich, golden crust.

For the topping

  • 200 g cherry tomatoes Juicy and sweet, perfect for roasting.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Aiding in the roasting process.
  • 1 whole burrata (approx. 125g) Soft and creamy, the crowning glory.
  • 2 tbsp basil pesto Brings a lush green flavor.
  • Salt & pepper Enhances the profile of the roasted tomatoes.
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves & chili flakes For garnish and an added kick.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and place a 25cm (10-inch) oven-safe skillet inside.
  • In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan, and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest.

Cooking

  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, add butter, and let it melt, swirling to coat the bottom.
  • Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to the oven.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, avoiding opening the oven during the baking process.
  • Simultaneously, toss cherry tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread them on a baking tray, and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Assembly

  • Once the Dutch Baby is puffy and golden, remove it from the oven, top with roasted tomatoes, and nestle burrata in the center.
  • Drizzle basil pesto over the entire dish, and optionally garnish with fresh basil and chili flakes.

Notes

Ensure your oven is preheated well and let the batter rest before baking. A well-mixed batter is key for puffiness.
