Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) with a 12-inch cast iron skillet inside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, minced fresh chives, and mustard powder until smooth and bubbly.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold together until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
  5. Carefully remove the heated skillet, add unsalted butter, and let it melt and foam for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake for 15 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Gently remove from the skillet and top with prosciutto or ham, radishes, and dressed greens. Serve immediately.
