Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a cast-iron skillet inside to heat up for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a blender, combine the eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the bottom and sides.
  4. Pour the rested batter into the butter-coated skillet, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled crispy bacon evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden brown, and the center is set.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and chives; drizzle with honey if desired, then slice and serve hot.
