Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup freshly grated Swiss cheese
- 0.333 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 6-cup muffin or popover tin in the oven to preheat along with it.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Slowly whisk in the milk and melted butter until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth, pourable batter is formed. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the grated Swiss cheese and crumbled Roquefort cheese, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Carefully remove the preheated muffin or popover tin from the oven. Spray each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the tin back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time, as the popovers will begin to rise.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
