A savory version of a German (Dutch) Oven Pancake. Sort of a cross between a soufflé and an omelet with bacon, green onions and cheese.
Authentic Simplicity is my Secret Recipe Club blog this month. Anne’s goal in life is to balance authenticity (keepin’ it real) with simplicity, and she shares great tips and delicious recipes on Authentic Simplicity to help you do the same.
My daughter thought this Savory Oven Pancake tasted a bit like Yorkshire pudding, and thought it would be even better made in muffin cups. My son thought it tasted like a crustless quiche. I thought it was a fantastic idea and a great way to change a sweet recipe to a savory recipe.
If you prefer savory over sweet, this recipe is for you. It’s a quick, delicious recipe that would be perfect any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
- 4 slices bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 3 thin slices of Gouda or similar easy melting cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425º.
- Put the butter in a 12? cast iron (or other oven safe) skillet and place pan in the oven.
- While the butter is melting, mix together eggs, milk, flour, green onions, 3 slices of crumbled bacon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven, and pour in the batter.
- Bake the oven pancake for 15-20 minutes or until the pancake is puffy and golden brown. Top with cheese and remaining crumbled bacon before serving.

LOVE the sound of this and love that you used whole wheat pastry flour too!
Love your savory version!
OHHHH! I’ve never thought of doing a savory version!!
Doesn’t this sound yummy!! The cheese slices on your version totally sold me to it (I am a processed cheese junky lol).
By the way, I got to cook from your blog this month, head over to check what I chose from your great collection of recipes
Dutch pancakes are an absolute go-to for sleepovers (yes, we still do sleepovers), but I’m sure my friends have been wowed enough times with the same sweet variety–can’t wait to introduce them to this salty version! Thanks for sharing, Barbara.
A savory German pancake is a really great idea! It brings me back to the early days when my kids were little. We had a weekly “waffle night” dinner to help ends meet. This recipe would be a great way to mix it up.
Barbara, Oui une excellente idée créative, à faire chez nous
Je te souhaite un bonne soirée
Valérie.
It looks wonderful, I would love a savory pancake. It reminds me of a Dutch Baby I’ve seen made in a castiron skillet, but usually sweet with apples and cinnamon. Maybe it’s just another name for it
My daughter and I had chicken and waffles just last night for dinner…no syrup just gravy.
This looks fantastic! I’ve never had a savory type of pancake…adding to the must-try list!
I love dutch baby pancakes, but I’ve been feeling like I eat too much sugary stuff for breakfast. So I LOVE the idea of making a savory version. Sounds lovely, will have to try it soon!
Barbara, so glad you enjoyed the Savory Oven Pancake! That’s a favorite around here, although it’s different every time. I love the idea of Gouda cheese – yum!
One of my favorite meals when I’m in Rotterdam or Amsterdam is pancakes. Love this!
Interesting idea! Looks very good!
I love the look of this and being cooked in the one pot is a bonus. Yum!
Oven pancakes are a favorite in our home, it’s a treat night when I make them for dinner. Yours looks delicious.
This looks fantastic! I love German pancakes, and a great idea to do it all savory! Yum!
I have always loved Dutch Babies – as we call oven pancakes – but I have never even thought of making a savory version. Thanks for posting this!
What an enticing dinner or brunch recipe! Simple to prepare with terrific flavor.
This would be a perfect light meal for me! Looks delicious, Barbara!
I’ve had sweet Dutch babies a few times before, but I never thought to make a savoury version like this. The combo of bacon, green onion and Gouda looks amazing!
If your daughter thinks it tastes like Yorkshire pudding, I know I would love this! What a wonderful, savory oven pancake.
I would love this for the dinner! Yummy!
i do prefer savory to sweet, this sounds so good!
I agree, this in muffin tins would be awesome!
I’ve never thought of doing a savory version – this sounds delicious!! Especially topped with gouda – yum!
This looks like it would be a delicious breakfast at my house! I do like the idea about muffin tins…
Oh my, this looks yummy. We’d love something like this for breakfast over the weekend. Great choice!
I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’m all for it!
I have to try this one. I’ve seen so many dutch pancake recently, and they all look great, but this savory version is something really special. Great pick for SRC!
This looks delicious Barbara. Oven pancakes are one of my favorite quick dishes but I wouldn’t have thought to turn it savory instead of sweet.
I would like to have this for my dinner ….. something different!
That is certainly a new take on an old favorite! I’m trying this one!
I usually prefer savoury, especially for breakfast and this looks like a great alternative to poached or scrambled eggs or French toast mum! xxx
A savory dutch baby. What a great idea. Have to try this one – soon!!!
I just made my first sweet dutch baby pancake and loved it and I was wondering how a savory take would go. Now I know and it’s worth a try. Holiday breakfast time.
I’ll have savory any day. We love omelets and German pancakes–it must be delicious.
I’m used to seeing these dutch babies sweet..so the savory definitely sparked my interest! You can NEVER go wrong with bacon, cheese and onions! I’d even pour maple syrup on it or dust with powdered sugar. Onions are sweet when cooked and cheddar pairs wellwith sweet…well..apples..so there!
Awesome choice!
Ooops..make that gouda..which pairs just as well with sweets
