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.
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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 😀
