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

Gluten-Free Dutch Baby With Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes and Arugula. I cannot even begin to tell you how delicious this gluten-free Dutch baby is. Think of Yorkshire pudding, topped with melted smoked gouda cheese, arugula, garlic basil tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Have I got your attention?

What is a 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. The texture is just like Yorkshire pudding, very light with plenty of air bubbles. These large fluffy pancakes can be sweet with berries and cream or savoury with cheese and veggies

The method for making this fluffy pancake is similar to Yorkshire pudding. 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. 

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!

any good melting cheese will work…

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.

 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.

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.

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