Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet inside to heat up for about 10 minutes.
In a blender, combine eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and frothy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Remove the hot skillet from the oven, add a tablespoon of butter, and swirl to coat the bottom.
Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, pour the rested batter into the skillet immediately.
Sprinkle cheese and bacon evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, keeping the oven door closed.
Remove from the oven, cool for a moment, then garnish with parsley and chives. Slice and serve warm.
