Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Vegetarian sausage
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk (preferably whole or 2%)
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (per popover cup) Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons (optional) Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 6-cup popover or muffin tin into the oven to heat as the oven warms up.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the vegetarian sausage links until browned and heated through, about 5-6 minutes. Slice them into small rounds or crumble them into bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Stir in the melted butter.
Carefully remove the hot popover tin from the oven and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each cup. Return the tin to the oven for 1-2 minutes to heat the oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully pour the batter into each cup, filling them about halfway. Quickly add a few pieces of cooked veggie sausage into each cup, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Return the tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Do not open the oven during this time, as it may cause the popovers to collapse.
After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes. Gently loosen them with a knife and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
