What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 thick slices bacon, cut into ¼-inch pieces
  • 4 sprigs oregano
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup canned pureed pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

I made the beans more like a simple stew and threw in an onion, used thyme instead of oregano, and put in some flour and stock at the end and threw it back in the oven for a few minutes. So good!

If your dutch baby is not releasing, maybe your pan was not hot enough before you added the oil?

Love this! I made just the Dutch baby and topped it with leftover cranberry chutney. Fabulous! I also added a little sage and black pepper to the batter. In my cast-iron skillet, 1 tbsp each of butter and oil was plenty to make sure it didn't stick and still form crisp edges :)

Ay tips on getting an easy release of the pancake from the pan? It is definitely coated with a ton of oil yet when I remove the pancake the bottom sticks.

This was a delicious, hearty, satisfying dinner! My only change was to use rosemary instead of oregano. Also, the beans and bacon took a good 40 minutes to roast and get crispy--but once they did, it was well worth the wait.
