Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 230°C (445°F). Set an oven-safe pan on the middle shelf, leaving enough clearance above it for the Dutch baby to rise.

2. 2

   Add the batter eggs, flour, milk and ¼ teaspoon salt to a stick-blender jug or stand blender. Blend until smooth and aerated.

3. 3

   Let the batter stand while the oven heats so it can come closer to room temperature. For making it ahead, refrigerate the batter overnight and bring it to room temperature before cooking.

4. 4

   Grate the cheddar, finely chop the chives or parsley, and mince or grate the garlic. Put them in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and mix.

5. 5

   When ready to bake, carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Add the 30 g butter and let it bubble and melt completely.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the pan.

7. 7

   Scatter the cheese-and-herb mixture over the batter.

8. 8

   Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes without opening the oven door. The transcript reports baking for 15 minutes; the description gives 15–20 minutes.

9. 9

   While the Dutch baby bakes, prepare the toppings: cook the sausages, cut them on a bias, cook the back bacon, grill or fry the tomatoes, fry the mushrooms in butter, and fry the topping eggs. The source gives no amounts, timings or detailed cooking method for these toppings.

10. 10

    When the Dutch baby comes out of the oven, top it with the sausages, back bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes. Add ketchup and brown sauce, then arrange three or four fried eggs on top.

11. 11

    Season with sea salt and black pepper. Remove the Dutch baby from the skillet and finish with Heinz baked beans.

Notes

The source provides no quantities for the fillings or finishing ingredients. It suggests a simpler topping combination of sausage or bacon plus one other item. The description specifies chives or parsley; the transcript demonstrates parsley. The transcript calls for three or four topping eggs and describes finishing with Heinz baked beans.
