2. Ingredients for Savory Kale Dutch Baby
- ¼ cup (31g) shelled, raw walnuts
- 5 large eggs (300g)
- 1¼ cup (296ml) full-fat milk
- ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2g) pepper
- 2 kale leaves (60g), spines removed and rough chopped
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons (56g) butter
- ¼ cup (35g) diced shallot
- 2 garlic cloves (8g), minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (stems removed)
3. Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425ºF/220ºC/gas 7.
- Add walnuts to the blender and blend on speed 2 for 5 seconds. Add eggs, milk, salt and pepper to the blender, then blend on speed 2 for 5 seconds. Add the kale leaves to the blender and use a rubber spatula to submerge them in the mixture. Blend on speed 3 for 5 seconds. Add the flour to the blender, then pulse 6 times (or until flour is fully incorporated). Do not overblend.
- Heat a cast iron pan on medium high heat and add butter. When butter begins to bubble, add the shallot and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Turn off heat and pour the batter from the blender into the pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 17 minutes, or until dutch baby is puffed and cooked in the center. Allow dutch baby to settle for 2-3 minutes, then serve immediately with soft fried eggs on top.
- CHEF’S NOTES: Depending on the kale you use, the green hue will change. The darker the kale leaves, the darker the batter. This recipe is best eaten right out of the oven.
