Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup muffin tin in the oven to preheat as well.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually whisk in the milk until fully combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter.
Stir in the melted butter, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves (if using).
Carefully remove the preheated muffin tin from the oven and spray each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray or grease well with butter.
Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, then evenly distribute the crumbled goat cheese among the cups, letting some sink into the batter and some remain on top.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.
Lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden and crisp.
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, carefully release them using a butter knife if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, tangy goodness!
