Ingredients
Units
For the Dutch Baby
- 80g flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 Tsp / 5g dijon mustard
- 1Tsp / 4g chopped parsley
- 90 ml full-fat milk
- Oil for the tin
- Small handful of cheese 30g
For the herby salad
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 handful / roughly 20g of your favourite herbs (I used a mix of coriander picked from the stems and dill)
- 1 handful of wild rocket (or more herbs)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider or white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 ball of fresh mozzarella
- Salt, sugar and pepper as needed
Instructions
- Add flour and salt to bowl and whisk to combine. To a jug add the eggs, water, parsley, dijon and milk and whisk until combined. Make a well in the centre of the flour, then pour in the wet ingredients and stir until the batter comes together. Place the batter in the fridge to rest.
- While the batter rests, make the herb salad. Thinly slice the red onion, then toss with the oil and vinegar, as well as a pinch of salt and pepper and a generous pinch of sugar. Set aside, tossing occasionally until the onions soften and lightly pickle.
- Wash the herbs and rocket, and spin or pat dry. Pick the herbs from the stems and place into a serving bowl with the rocket.
- Once ready to cook, preheat your air fryer (200°C) or oven (220°C).
- In a dish suitably sized for your oven or air fryer (we used an 18cm cake tin), add enough oil to coat the base in a 1mm layer. Place the cake tin into the air fryer/oven and allow the oil to heat well.
- Once preheated quickly pour half the batter into the pin and scatter the cheese in the middle.
- Cook: Air fryer: 200°C for 10 to 11 minutes until golden brown and puffy and cooked in the middle. Oven at 220 Celsius for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown puffed and cooked in the middle.
Various air fryer brands differ in their power output so yours may take a little longer to cook. - Remove the dutch baby from the oven and remove from the pan onto a serving plate. Set aside to keep warm. Return the cake tin to the oven or air fryer with more oil, to preheat then cook the second dutch baby.
- Once ready to serve, toss the onion mixture through the herbs and rocket. Divide the herb salad and mozzarella between the dutch babies, and serve immediately.
