Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 6-cup popover or muffin tin in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the milk and melted butter, whisking until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the finely diced red bell pepper, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Carefully remove the warmed popover or muffin tin from the oven. Lightly grease each cup with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about halfway to two-thirds full.
Place the tin back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes without opening the door. Reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the popovers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a cooling rack. If desired, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious red pepper popovers!
