Blistered Tomato Dutch Baby
Using farm fresh cherry tomatoes, tomato pesto, and some of our own home-grown tomatoes, this Blistered Tomato Dutch Baby is definitely #farmtotable friendly.
My brain thinks in strange ways. Since Iโm a pretty visual thinker, I think thatโs why it responds the way it does. Like yesterday, I was looking through my Bloglovin on the way home from work and the way the two feature images just hit it made me think of something cool and delicious to make. Youโre just going to have to wait and see what it was.
Like this Blistered Tomato Pesto Dutch Baby. You know Dutch babies are usually sweet treats, right? If youโre not sure what a Dutch baby is, theyโre like a baked, puffed up pancake. Except mine hasnโt puffed up yet. Ever. Whatโs the key to that? I think itโs the type of pan Iโm using. I may need to break out the ole cast iron skillet just โcause.
The low down on this is that the hubs doesnโt like sweet stuffs for breakfast. So, to get a pancake style fix, I need to make it not sweet and for dinner. Yeah. Itโs a stretch. But this is actually the second one Iโve made. Itโs not going to be the last one, either. The first was an artichoke and goat cheese version. Since it didnโt puff, I didnโt take photos of it. This one didnโt puff, either, as you can see. But, it tasted so amazing, I just had to share it with you.
It all started with the blistered tomatoes and lebneh that I did for SRC a few months back. I loved the way the tomatoes tasted, how sweet they were, and how easy they were to make. If you have never blistered tomatoes ever, youโre seriously missing out! Because, you see, theyโre so versatile!
With blistered tomatoes, you can make a pasta sauce. Kind of like pomodoro, but better. You can make an appetizer nibble or tapas style dish like I did with the lebneh. And, you can make this delicious Dutch baby for a breakfast, brunch, or a delicious and simple #meatfree dinner. Blistered tomatoes are super versatile.
Then, we had these cherry tomatoes. Since our plant didnโt like all the rain we got in Juneโฆ.and Julyโฆ.itโs taken a minute to produce some fruit. It spits out a few here and there and I try to save them up for a meal. Well, I had a handful that I was saving up for this meal. But I didnโt want those tomatoes to be the blistered ones. I wanted our tomatoes to be the caprese salad on TOP of the Dutch baby.
So, yes, itโs tomatoes on top of tomatoes and mixed with tomatoes. Oh? I didnโt tell you that part? Thereโs tomato pesto simmered with the blistered tomatoes. Itโs a tomatosion in your mouth. Get it? Tomato? Explosion? Tomatosion? No? Just me?
Moving on.
How did I put these tomatoes with the Dutch baby? Well, I was thinking about the tomatoes, saw a post about a plum Dutch baby or maybe it was an apple one? Anyway, I saw the photo, thought about the tomatoes, and voila. The idea was born. And it was simple. And it was delicious. We ate it allย and I had an amazing lunch again at work. Cause thatโs what I do. Have amazing lunches at work after amazing dinners just like this one. Be jealous.
Honestly. Just look at it! Even though it didnโt puff up, it tasted light, and delicious. You can see the color of the tomato pesto showing through the top there. The blistered tomatoes are buried in the dough, then thereโs the sweet, hone grown cherry tomatoes with our home grown lemon basil. The mozzarella pearls are store bought. I havenโt branched out to making cheese, yet. Almost, though.
What strange inspiration have you come up with just browsing the net or Pinterest?

I love the way your brain works! Sort of like mine – I start in one place and then end up someplace I never expected to. Love this light dinner recipe – perfect for summer.
Sometimes I do have to trace back and see how I get where I ended up.
