Description
I love topping my Bismarcks with prosciutto and shredded Swiss cheese, and topping them off with a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning, but you can honestly top yours with whatever you like. The original recipe calls for melted butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice as the only toppings. Fruit and jam would work really well for a sweet version, with a dusting of powdered sugar. See notes below for other variations. Have fun with it!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a shallow rectangular baking dish with butter flavored cooking spray, or dab some softened butter on a paper towel to grease the dish. Add the 3 tablespoons of butter to the dish and place into the oven.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the milk, flour and eggs with a fork or a whisk to make a batter.
- Once the butter in the baking dish has melted, add the batter to the pan. For this savory version, tear thin slices of prosciutto into pieces (they don’t have to lie flat) and scatter them all over the batter’s surface. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss evenly across the whole Bismarck. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning evenly across the top, adding more to taste if you like.
- Bake for about 12 minutes. When the batter seems cooked and looks the consistency of a crepe, remove it from the oven.
- Cut into 12 squares and serve warm.
Notes
