Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease a standard 12-well muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined. Add the milk and melted butter to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin tin wells, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking, as this can cause the popovers to deflate.
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your Pepperoni Pizza Popovers!
