This Savory Kale Dutch Baby will remind you very much of a cross between an omelet and a frittata. I love this meal because it is so simple to prepare. When you’re baking it, it will rise similar to a soufflé and then fall shortly after you take it out of the oven. The edges will be crispy and bubbly and kind of remind you of a breakfast pizza. It’s so good!

If you’re not a fan of kale, then feel free to substitute it with spinach. I like to top mine with salsa and a little fresh cilantro. Sautéed Mushroom and Onions, maybe with a little goat cheese is nice as well. I say all of this to say…make this Savory Kale Dutch Baby your own.

This is a light dish, so if you’re looking for a more filling breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, then I would suggest serving it with some other items such as hash browns, grits, toast, breakfast veggie meat, a light salad, etc.

Similar to my cookbook, you can freestyle this dutch baby and make it your own in different ways.

Here’s a few ways to freestyle this recipe:

  • use spinach instead of kale or even some sautéed swiss chard or collards would work here
  • use another sharp cheese like gruyere or gouda instead of cheddar
  • add in a small handful of fresh herbs instead of dried herbs

Here are some other additions and ideas to consider:

  • top with fresh herbs such as cilantro or dill
  • top with fresh salsa or bruschetta
  • top with fresh greens like arugula that has been dressed with a light vinaigrette

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • A few twists of ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch red chili flakes, optional
  • 1 cup kale, lightly packed and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • large mixing bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • sheet pan
  • 8 or 9-inch Cast Iron Skillet, Pie Pan, or Baking Dish (Here I used this Staub Oval Cast Iron 11-inch baking dish. It’s truly one of my favorites to bake in.)

Instructions

  • Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes and whisk well together. Gently fold in the kale, sharp cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese.

Melt the Butter

  • Add the butter to a cast iron skillet or pie pan (8 to 9 inches, if you go bigger than this, the edges will not rise as much and your dish will look more like a frittata). Transfer the pan onto a sheet pan and then into oven to melt the butter, 2 to 3 minutes. Once melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven.

To Bake

  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into pan. Transfer to the dish back to the center rack in the oven. Bake until the mixture has solidified, the edges have risen a bit and are nice and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Keep in mind that the dish may deflate some once you remove it from the oven, but it will taste Oh So Good!
  • Slice and enjoy with whatever you're serving it with!
