If you're looking for a savory breakfast/brunch option that is both delicious and impressive, look no further than the Ham and Cheese Savory Dutch Baby. This dish is a cross between a pancake and an omelet, with a light and airy texture that pairs perfectly with the salty ham and nutty cheese.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2.	Melt butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and swirl around to coat the skillet.
3.	In a bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until smooth. Add in the milk and continue to whisk until well combined. Stir in the cheese and ham.
4.	Pour the batter into the skillet with the melted butter.
5.	Bake in preheated oven until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown, about 18-20 minutes.
6.	Let cool slightly, then slice and serve with sliced avocados and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.

PROS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This recipe provides a good source of protein from the eggs and ham, and calcium from the Swiss or Gruyere cheese.
Using whole milk instead of heavy cream keeps the calorie count lower compared to traditional recipes.
For a healthier twist, try substituting the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour to increase fiber and nutrients.
