In Our Kitchen: Savory Dutch Baby Pancake

If you know me, you know that breakfast/brunch is one of my favorite things about life. We served brunch at the reception of our Sunday afternoon wedding. When I plan trips, our mornings usually revolve around a delicious breakfast or brunch spot. When I find a delicious breakfast dish to make at home and can make it feel like we are dining out on vacation—I relish in it. This savory dutch baby pancake is that dish for me. The mixture of the ham and gruyere cheese with the eggy, almost crepe-like goodness, bring me to the streets of Paris. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do in our house!
