🍳🥓🧀 Whether you’re looking for a sweet or savory breakfast or brunch dish, a jamon Dutch baby is a delicious choice that’s sure to impress. This homemade recipe is easy to make and customizable to suit your taste preferences. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to create your own jamon Dutch baby at home.
🍽️ What is a Dutch Baby?
A Dutch baby, also known as a German pancake, is a puffy, oven-baked pancake that’s typically served for breakfast or brunch. It’s made with a simple batter of eggs, flour, milk, and sugar, and is often flavored with vanilla or other spices. Dutch babies can be sweet or savory, and are usually cooked in a cast iron skillet to achieve a crispy outer crust with a soft, custardy interior.
🧀🥓 Savory Jamon Dutch Baby Recipe
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making a savory jamon Dutch baby at home:
Ingredients:
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup grated cheese (Gruyere or cheddar work well)
– 2-3 slices of jamon or prosciutto
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– Fresh herbs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Stir in the grated cheese, then set the batter aside.
4. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
5. Once the butter is melted, add the jamon slices to the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crispy.
6. Pour the batter over the jamon in the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
👩🍳 Customize Your Dutch Baby
The great thing about Dutch babies is that they’re highly customizable. Here are a few ideas for customizing your jamon Dutch baby:
– Add sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
– Top with sliced tomatoes, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream for a fresh twist.
– Experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese, for a unique flavor profile.
– For a vegetarian option, substitute the jamon with caramelized mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
🌶️🍅 Try a Sweet Variation
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you can easily adapt this recipe to create a sweet Dutch baby instead. Simply omit the jamon and cheese, and instead sprinkle the batter with cinnamon and sugar before baking. Once it’s done, top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a deliciously sweet treat.

OP had to bring it back after all the comments calling out your cheese plate not being “homemade”
This is only the second post of yours I’ve seen (both in the same morning!) and was I going to make a comment about the dog making another appearance but looking at your previous posts, I see that’s kinda your thing… I love it.
HELPP NOT THE DOG AGAIN LMAO
You’re on a jamon kick lately huh?!? Love it and your dog
Looks like the doggo has a snack on his snout
Jamon is a common ingredient in your masterpieces, it’s gotta be thr bomb
Plot twist: pupper has been been patiently holding the same piece of jamon on his booper for like two weeks, just waiting…
I’ve never wanted to try jamon more than while I’ve been following your saga haha. Looks delicious as always.
Whoa a savoury Dutch baby opens up so many new possibilities!
I have a feeling you may like jamon.
Beggin ass dog

I like the idea of a savory dutch baby, but honestly that looks flat. Did you not heat your pan up enough before pouring the batter in? Or did you over mix the batter?
It looks very tasty! Thanks for sharing, I’ve never heard of this delicacy, I have to try it.
One day, that dog is going to murder you in your sleep and finish off that jamon.
Oh dear, gorgeous. The dish too, I guess.
Had pizza in Sion Switzerland that looked just like this at a place called La Tonnella

Another quality post. Always enjoy them
I’m going to be sad when you run out of jamon. I love these posts!
