Use up leftover vegetables

I love a recipe that allows me to use up leftover vegetables I have in the fridge.

A little leftover asparagus, green onion and peppers are always good for the topping.

Plus I seem to always have a random yam left in the cupboard too. We love yams here at the Kottage.

Here are a couple of other yam dishes that are easy to make for a week night meal.

Turkey taco stuffed yams and Quick Thai turkey yams both are super delicious!

Savory Puffy Pancake batter

Puffy pancakes are just about the easiest thing to make. They are also known as dutch babies or German pancakes.

These turn out great when baked in a cast iron pan but if you don’t have one just use a 13″ x 9″ rectangle pan or any other large round or square baking pan.

P.S. Best oven mitt ever! I love that it covers up my arm a bit. Link to purchase here

The batter is so simple and I just whirl it up in the blender and pour it into a hot pan with melted butter!

It is 1 c flour, 1 cup warm milk, 6 eggs room temp, 5 Tbsp butter, favorite seasonings I used some fresh chopped basil but you could use parsley, a combination of rosemary, thyme and basil.

If you don’t have fresh herbs you can use dried.

Baking the Savory Puffy Pancake

Once you have made the batter and your pan is hot in the oven with the butter melted. Pour the batter into the pan.

It only bakes for about 22 minutes. During the last few minutes sprinkle on some cheddar cheese so it melts.

OOH is your mouth watering yet? Mine is! I think I might make the beautiful savory puffy pancake for Easter brunch!

It is so great to make for your guests because it looks so stunning right when you take it out of oven! Don’t worry if you see your masterpiece deflate a bit after you take it out of the oven. It does that.
