Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F. Arrange 2 oven racks in the bottom and center of oven. Place a 10” cast iron skillet in oven on bottom rack to preheat.
Step 2
Arrange bacon in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in center of oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with maple syrup. Bake for 5-10 more minutes until brown. Set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450F.
Step 3
In a blender, blend eggs on high speed for one minute. With blender running, gradually add milk, followed by 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add flour and cornstarch. Blend until just combined. Pulse in cheese, chives, sage, salt and pepper.
Step 4
Remove skillet from oven and coat with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Quickly pour batter into skillet and return to middle rack of oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Dutch baby will deflate as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Step 5
While Dutch baby bakes, fry the eggs. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into oil and cook, undisturbed, until yolk and whites are set and edges are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Top Dutch baby with fried eggs, maple bacon and more herbs and cheese, if desired.
