Savory Roasted Grape Dutch Baby

I learned how to make Dutch Babies at one of the first restaurants I worked at while in school. This was a 24 hour restaurant that was known for the breakfast. We would make many different versions of this on Sunday mornings, as it was always a crowd favorite. However, in Ohio, we always referred to them as "German Pancakes".

The "Dutch Babies" I made back in the day were always served with a warm canned fruit compote and sometimes a cream cheese slurry. The server would then serve this tableside, folding it with forks to resemble a burrito. I always thought it was the presentation that made people order them, but after trying one, I learned it was the light, airy textures and sweet flavor that made them so popular.

How to Make a Dutch Baby (German Pancake):

• Pre-heat oven to 400°
• In a blender, mix the ½ C AP flour, ½ C milk, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla and 2 Tbsp sugar for 20-30 seconds. Scrape sides and pulse again.
• Allow batter to sit for 15 minutes.
• Heat a cast iron or oven safe 8-10" sauté pan in the oven for 5 minutes. 
• Remove pan from oven and being careful, add melted butter and swirl to coat pan.
• Add pancake batter and return to oven (place on middle rack). 
• Allow to cook for 12-18 minutes or until golden brown and sides have risen.

When our friends at Divine Flavor asked participate in their cooking competition using their delicious organic grapes I immediately thought about my days at this restaurant. Why not turn a sweet delicious medley of grapes into a sweet and savory Dutch Baby? Roasting the grapes brings out the natural sugars that caramelize while in the oven. The tanginess from the goat cheese along with the touch of thyme make this perfect for just about any meal.
