Savory Dutch Baby with Arugula & Parmesan by @DeniseSwanson


My husband and I love breakfast for supper, so what could be even better? A breakfast favorite turned savory!

Also called a German pancake, we make this Dutch baby recipe healthier and more dinner-like by topping it with a fresh salad, cheese and fried or poached eggs.







Ingredients: 
7 large eggs
⅔ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or use whole milk if you prefer)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2½ cups baby arugula or arugula and spinach combo.
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shaved

Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.


Combine 3 eggs, milk, flour, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender












Blend until frothy, about 1 minute.



Carefully remove the pan from the oven, add butter and swirl the pan until the butter is melted. 











Immediately add the batter. 














Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Middle will sink when it's taken from the oven.

Meanwhile, fry or poach eggs

Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add arugula and toss to coat.












Serve the Dutch baby topped with the fried eggs, arugula, Parmesan and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.





OUT NOW:  A CALL TO CHARMS (FIRST IN THE FOREVER CHARMED MYSTERY SERIES)





Chocolate, men, and magic. Who can turn down that inheritance?
     If life had gone as she planned, Lexie Green would have been teaching English at a prestigious university, not persuading spoiled, rich women to buy overpriced clothes they didn’t need and often looked ridiculous wearing. Can you say electric yellow see-through skirts and Torn jeans with unfinished hems?    
     Still, although this isn’t the life Lexie would have chosen, all is going well. At least until Lexie is fired and her deranged ex-boyfriend tries to kidnap her.
     Deciding that it’s better to accept a mysterious inheritance from a great aunt she’s never heard of rather than end up kept in a cage as her ex’s pet poodle, Lexie packs up and heads to Kansas. So, what if she has to go by a new name and live in a town that she can’t find on a map?
     Unfortunately, once she arrives in her new hometown, everyone there seems just a tad off-kilter and Lexie’s cousin insists that the citizens are magical. At least there are a couple of hot guys hanging around for eye candy.
     Even though Lexie doesn’t believe the nonsense about her being the Ravenscraft Shield, she does believe her father was murdered—a father she never knew existed, and she investigates his death.
     Too bad, whoever killed her father, now wants Lexie dead as well.

Take one dedicated wildlife veterinarian who treats her animals as if they were her babies, add an impossibly handsome nightclub manager who’s determined to open the hottest spot in Las Vegas, and what do you have? A sweet, sexy romance that proves that no matter how much a man and woman may snarl at the idea of a relationship, love always wins.

* * *

Marco Thorne was hired by Club Wilde’s owner to open up the newest, most outrageous venue yet. He is absolutely certain that he can handle all the competition Las Vegas has to offer until his overbearing boss contracts with Lions and Tigers and More sanctuary to have live exotic animals present in the jungle-themed club. Still, he has no choice but to go along with his boss’s idiotic scheme, even if he thinks it’s the worst idea he’s ever heard.

Dr. Sage DeSantis’s entire life is devoted to keeping the animals under her care in the sanctuary healthy and happy. After the sanctuary’s owner announces that he’s renting out some of Sage’s babies to Club Wilde, she’s sickened that they will once again be exploited.

When Marco and Sage meet, the chemistry between them nearly knocks them off their feet. Although they both have experiences in their past that make them leery of love, and Sage is determined to guard her heart, Marco is all in. But will Marco be able to convince Sage to give them a chance?
