Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 4 large Eggs Essential for structure and leavening; for an egg-free option, try flaxseed meal mixed with water.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Forms the base of the pancake; for gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1 cup Milk Provides moisture and richness; any type will work, including plant-based milks.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter Enhances flavor and prevents sticking; substitute with oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and heightens flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a subtle hint of spice and depth.
Toppings
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese Gives a savory, melty finish; you can substitute with gouda for a different taste.
  • 6 strips Crispy Bacon Brings saltiness and crunch; alternatives include sautéed mushrooms or crispy tempeh for a meat-free twist.
  • Fresh Parsley and Chives Offers color and freshness to your dish, elevating the presentation.

Equipment

  • 10-inch cast-iron skillet
  • blender

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to warm up.
  2. In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
  4. Quickly pour the rested batter into the skillet and listen for the sizzle as it hits the hot surface.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 6 strips of crumbled crispy bacon evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden brown, and the center is set.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives if desired, and serve warm.
