Start your morning with a showstopping Brunch Popover Pancake—a delightful cross between a fluffy popover and a golden pancake, perfect for impressing family or guests. This easy yet elegant dish bakes up tall and airy in a cast-iron skillet, with a crispy exterior giving way to a tender, custard-like center. The magic happens when simple pantry staples like eggs, flour, and milk transform into a dramatic, puffed masterpiece right in the oven.

What truly sets this recipe apart is the luscious fruit topping: a warm compote of juicy peaches simmered in a glossy orange marmalade glaze, brightened with a splash of lemon juice. A sprinkle of sweet-tart blueberries adds a burst of freshness and color. At 540 calories per serving, it’s a satisfying indulgence that balances rich butteriness with vibrant fruit flavors. Ready in just 45 minutes, this dish is ideal for lazy weekend brunches or special occasions when you want something effortlessly impressive. Watch as the pancake rises dramatically in the oven—then serve it immediately for that "wow" factor before it gently deflates into a delicious, shareable centerpiece.
