Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a standard muffin tin (or popover pan) in the oven while it heats to get the pan hot.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm but not simmering or boiling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the warmed milk to the eggs, whisking continuously.
Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Whisk in the melted butter until incorporated.
Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and quickly spray the cups with nonstick cooking spray. Work swiftly to keep the tin hot.
Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the batter and sprinkle a generous pinch of Gruyere cheese on top of each filled cup.
Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the oven door. Continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm!
