For the Batter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a cast-iron skillet inside to warm up for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until silky smooth. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add a tablespoon of butter, and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  4. Pour the rested batter into the pre-heated skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the batter.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door.
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and chives. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with honey.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is hot before pouring in the batter for the best puff. Do not peek while it bakes to maintain fluffiness.
