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 10-15 minutes.
  2. Blend the eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, melted butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth and frothy. Allow it to rest for a few minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet, add a pat of butter, and swirl until melted to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour the rested batter into the hot skillet evenly, ensuring a sizzling sound.
  5. Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown; do not open the oven door.
  7. Let it cool slightly, then garnish with parsley and chives, drizzle with honey if desired, and serve warm.
