Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional, for added flavor)
- 0.75 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 6-cup popover pan (or a standard muffin tin) on the middle rack of the oven to warm as the oven preheats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper (if using). Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking constantly until well combined.
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the melted butter, then fold in the shredded cheddar and grated parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven. Grease each cup of the pan generously with nonstick spray or butter to ensure the popovers release easily.
Fill each cup of the pan a little over halfway with the batter. Work quickly but carefully to ensure the batter remains warm.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers need the steam to rise properly.
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes, until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool slightly before serving. Gently release each popover using a small knife or spatula if necessary.
Serve warm and enjoy! These cheese popovers pair beautifully with soups, salads, or simply on their own.
