Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Manchego cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 6-cup muffin pan or popover pan on the middle rack to warm while the oven preheats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the shredded Manchego cheese until evenly distributed.
Carefully remove the hot muffin or popover pan from the oven and generously coat each cup with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven during this time, as the popovers need steam to rise.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
