1. Place a large, oven safe skillet in the oven and preheat to 425˚F.
2. While pan is heating, blend eggs, flour, milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, thyme, rosemary, green onion, and cheddar in a blender until smooth.
3. Remove hot pan from the oven and add the butter, swirling the melting butter around to coat the pan.
4. Pour batter into the pan and return to the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven. Top puffed pancake with the cheddar for the filling immediately. Throw back in the oven for a couple minutes to melt the cheese a little bit more if desired.
6. Top with prosciutto slices and desired eggs (I made poached eggs*).
7. Garnish with thyme leaves, chives, rosemary, and some fresh ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

For Poached Eggs: One at a time, crack one egg into a ramekin or small bowl. Gently stir the simmering water before adding the egg to create a whirlpool-like current and then slowly start to tip the egg into the water, white first. Cook for 3 minutes. Repeat this step with the second egg (you can have both eggs cooking in the pot at the same time). Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, cutting off any icky edges, and gently pat dry with a paper towel.

If poached eggs aren't your jam, you can also try over easy eggs or sunny side up eggs!
