Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Fresh bok choy
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a muffin or popover pan inside the oven to heat.
Rinse the bok choy thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry. Finely chop the bok choy leaves and tender stems, setting aside 1 cup.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped bok choy and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until well combined.
Add the milk to the egg mixture and continue whisking until the liquid is smooth and cohesive.
Gradually sift in the flour while continuing to whisk. Ensure there are no lumps to achieve a smooth batter.
Stir in the sautéed bok choy, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Carefully remove the hot muffin or popover pan from the oven and spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Resist the urge to open the oven door during baking, as this can prevent the popovers from rising properly.
Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy the light, airy texture and savory bok choy flavor!
