Gluten-Free Dutch Baby With Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes and Arugula

Gluten-Free Dutch Baby With Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes, and Arugula. Let me tell you, this gluten-free Dutch baby is a flavor sensation! Picture a popover or Yorkshire pudding, but with a twist – it’s topped with melted smoked gouda cheese, fresh arugula, garlic-infused basil tomatoes, and a tantalizing drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

What is a Gluten-Free Dutch baby?

For those that may be wondering what is a Dutch Baby, the best way I would describe it, a large puffy pancake baked in a cast-iron skillet without gluten. The texture is just like POPOVER, very light with plenty of air bubbles. These large fluffy pancakes can be sweet with berries and cream or savoury with cheese and veggies

Popover-Inspired Technique

The method for making this fluffy pancake is similar to popover. First, the skillet is heated, then add some oil and immediately fill with the batter. The pancake is then baked and later topped with various toppings. 

Savory Twist: Smoked Gouda and Fresh Greens

I wanted to make a savoury recipe, so I used a flavourful smoked gouda cheese, which I topped with fresh arugula and garlic basil tomatoes. To give it a finishing touch, I drizzled the tomatoes with balsamic vinegar. So so good!

Cheesy Options: Customize to Your Taste

But feel free to experiment with other cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella or Asiago. The garlic basil tomatoes and balsamic vinegar are what ties everything together beautifully, separating this Dutch Baby recipe from most.

Simple Dish: Easy and Impressive

 I love making Dutch babies because they are super easy to make, tasty and they look so impressive. Once you briefly roast the tomatoes with basil and garlic, everything else goes very quickly.

Easy Preparation: Blend, Bake, and Top

For the batter, add all the ingredients to a blender, blend and pour into a hot skillet and bake. Then top with cheese bake a little more and finish off with arugula, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.

Irresistible Flavor Fusion

Nothing compares to this savoury gluten-free Dutch baby dish – YUM! Serve for breakfast, brunch or anytime snack.
