Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked Italian sausage
- 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
- 0.5 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole milk, large eggs, salt, and pepper until smooth and lump-free. This will be your popover batter.
Pour the popover batter into the prepared pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
Bake the popover crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it begins to puff and turn golden.
While the crust bakes, prepare your pizza toppings. Cook and crumble the Italian sausage, and chop or slice any additional toppings like bell peppers.
Remove the crust from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the partially baked crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with cooked sausage, sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, or your toppings of choice.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings, followed by a dusting of Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Popover Pizza!
