1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange 2 oven racks in the bottom and center of the oven. Place a 10" cast iron skillet in the oven on the bottom rack to preheat.

2. Arrange bacon in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with maple syrup. Bake for 5-10 more minutes until brown. Set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.

3. In a blender, blend three eggs on high speed for one minute. With blender running, gradually add milk, followed by 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add flour and cornstarch. Blend until just combined. Pulse in cheese, chives, sage, salt and pepper.

4. Remove skillet from oven and coat with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Quickly pour batter into the skillet and return to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. The Dutch baby will deflate as soon as it comes out of the oven.

5. While the Dutch baby bakes, fry two eggs. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into oil and cook, undisturbed, until yolk and whites are set and edges are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

6. Top the Dutch baby with fried eggs, maple bacon and more herbs and cheese, if desired. Cut into two pieces (or more) and serve.
