Recipe by:

"I'm seeing lots of savory, non-breakfast versions of Dutch Babies on menus lately, so I thought I'd try it with this amazing bacon and asparagus version. The best pan to use is a 12-inch cast iron skillet."

This was great! The only change I made was to add some finely chopped green onions that I needed to use up, maybe a quarter cup. Those went in with the asparagus. Definitely will make it again....

This egg dish is amazing. The consistency is perfect. I even added an extra egg, changed to broccoli, added mushrooms and shallots. the basic egg mixture is perfect. Try it

Had this for brunch, yum! Only thing I added was a little diced red pepper. Savory, everyone liked it.

This was pretty tasty. I left out the bacon so it would be vegetarian and found it plenty pleasing, anyway.
