Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a standard 12-cup muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to preheat as well.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy. This helps to create light, airy popovers.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder until the batter is smooth.
Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and lightly spray each cup with non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about halfway full. Working quickly is key to maintaining the pan's heat.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Do not open the oven door during this time to ensure the popovers puff properly.
After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Use a knife to loosen the edges if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives (if desired) and serve warm. Enjoy your healthier Parmesan popovers as a delicious side or snack!
