Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Ground Italian sausage
- 2 oz Sliced pepperoni
- 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the sausage and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Remove the skillet from heat.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the pizza sauce. Add the sliced pepperoni on top, then evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Gradually add the flour, whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the popover batter evenly over the pizza toppings in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the popover topping is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, invert the baking dish onto a large serving board or tray so the toppings are on top and the crust is on the bottom. Slice and enjoy!
