A fluffy, soufflé-like breakfast puff featuring eggs, flour, and milk, served with syrup and strawberries—perfect for a special, indulgent morning treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put butter in a 9 x 13 inch glass dish and place it in the oven to heat at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a blender, whip the eggs until well combined.
- Very slowly add the flour and skim milk alternately into the blender, blending until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the hot dish with melted butter.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then check if done; if not, bake a few more minutes until puffed and cooked through.
- Serve hot with syrup and fresh strawberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter. You can substitute whole milk for skim milk if you prefer a richer flavor. Adding a pinch of salt to the batter can enhance the taste. If you don't have a blender, whisking by hand works well too, just ensure no lumps remain. Consider serving this alongside Jamie And Robby'S French Toast for a delightful breakfast spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Breakfast Puff hot, drizzled with syrup and topped with fresh strawberries for a sweet touch. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty meal. You can also enjoy it with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. For a unique twist, try adding a fruit compote on top.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, covering with aluminum foil to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before pouring it into the hot buttered dish. This will help ensure it puffs up nicely while baking.
What other toppings can I use?
In addition to syrup and strawberries, you can experiment with various toppings such as blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey can also elevate the dish. For a savory twist, consider adding fresh herbs or cheese before baking.
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option, though the texture may be denser. Gluten-free flour blends can also work, but check the package for specific ratios and additional binding agents if necessary.
