Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 4 ounces (115g) bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup (100g) Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the chopped bacon in a medium pan over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth and pourable.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
  5. Pour the batter into the hot skillet; it should sizzle lightly.
  6. Sprinkle cooked bacon and shredded Gruyère evenly over the batter.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle sliced scallions on top along with additional black pepper if desired.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve warm immediately to enjoy the puffed texture.

Notes

Preheat the skillet thoroughly for best puff and crisp edges. Use room temperature eggs and milk to improve rise. Avoid opening the oven door before 12 minutes to prevent deflating. If browning too fast, tent with foil. Freshly shredded Gruyère melts better than pre-shredded. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour.
