Giant Cheese Popovers Recipes

THE BIGGEST FATTEST FLUFFIEST POPOVER RECIPE

Steps:

• Warm the eggs by placing them UN-CRACKED in a medium bowl and cover with hot water (as hot as your tap will go). Let them sit for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F and move the oven rack to a low position (to prepare for huge popovers!). Grease the popover pan thoroughly inside each cup as well as around the top edges.
• With your whisk, beat together the eggs, milk and salt until they are combined. The yolks should be completely blended in.
• Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is frothy and all large lumps are gone. Then quickly stir in the melted butter.
• Divide the batter between the prepared popover cups. They should be about 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake the popovers for 20 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350°F. Bake for another 10 or 15 minutes. The popovers will be very golden brown.
• My preference is to serve immediately and enjoy them warm!

GIANT CHEESE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Place a popover pan with 12 cups in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Sift together flour and salt onto a piece of parchment paper; set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Whisk eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Slowly add heated milk to eggs, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in flour mixture.
• Remove heated popover pan from oven; spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Fill each cup with batter so it is level to the top; top with cheese.
• Bake 15 minutes. Rotate pan 180 degrees; continue baking until golden brown, about 35 minutes more.
• Invert pan and remove popovers. Serve immediately. Popovers may also be made 2 hours in advance. Cool on a wire rack and reheat in an oven heated to 450 degrees just before serving.
