Chorizo cheddar Dutch baby

So I was reading through my Google news feed, and I come across an article about uses for your cast iron skillet. Some of them are quite involved like shepherds pie or chicken pot pie. One I have never heard of before, which seems surprising to me now is German pancakes or a Dutch baby. From subsequent articles I’ve read about them they were first made in a Seattle restaurant over one hundred years ago. I also found additional recipes where the authors tried to create savory versions or kind of a breakfast pizza. Their versions all had really expensive cheeses I didn’t feel like paying for so I made my own. A Dutch baby is an eggy pastry that is unique in its own right. Anyways on to the recipe.
