Derived from the sweet ones I made a few days ago, I wanted to try the savory version as well. The combination turned out quite successful - it impressed the audience, especially my pickiest taster, Cezar.
Ingredients
200g spinach (frozen or fresh)
300g flour
1 teaspoon salt
warm milk (amount determined in recipe)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
7g dry yeast
150g parmesan
150g gorgonzola
butter/oil for the pan
Servings: 65 pieces
How to prepare dutch poffertjes with spinach and gorgonzola
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the yeast.
- Thaw the spinach, or if fresh, blanch it in water for 5 minutes, drain well and chop.
- Put the spinach in a measuring cup and add milk until you have 400 ml of mixture. I used 150 ml of milk.
- Add the spinach to the flour, then start slowly pouring in the milk while mixing with a whisk until you have a smooth batter. Add the lightly beaten eggs and oil. Mix well, then incorporate 75g of grated parmesan.
- Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Grease the special Dutch poffertjes pan with butter/oil and use a ketchup bottle to dispense the batter into the molds. Cook on both sides. See here for more information about how to cook and flip Dutch poffertjes, plus a photo of the pan.
- Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with parmesan.
- In a small pot, add 2 tablespoons of milk and the gorgonzola. Melt the cheese over low heat. Pour the gorgonzola sauce over the poffertjes and serve immediately while the sauce is still warm.
