Parmesan Thyme Popovers Recipe 55

THYME POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, thyme, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.
• Serve hot.

PARMESAN & THYME POPOVERS RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the bottom third of the oven; preheat to 425°. In a blender, puree the milk, eggs, and butter. Add the flour, 1/2 cup cheese, the thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; puree. Generously spray 12 standard-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Divide the batter among the cups, about 1/4 cup in each. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top. Bake until puffed and deep brown, 25 to 35 minutes. (Do not open the oven door.) Carefully remove the popovers from the cups. Pierce the sides of each popover with a sharp knife to release some of the steam. Serve immediately.

GARLIC PARMESAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.F. Generously grease six 2/3-cup popover tins or nine 1/2-cup muffin tins.
• In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and water. Add flour and whisk mixture until combined well but still slightly lumpy.
• Mince garlic and mash with salt. Whisk garlic paste into batter and divide half of batter among tins. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan over batter in tins and divide remaining batter among tins. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over popovers and bake in lower third of oven 45 minutes. Cut a slit about 1/2 inch long on top of each popover with a small sharp knife and bake 10 minutes more. (Popovers will not rise much because of Parmesan).

PARMESAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Place muffin pan in oven to heat. Meanwhile, combine flour, cheese and salt in medium bowl. Whisk eggs, milk and butter in separate bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until blended. (Batter will be slightly lumpy.)
• Spray 12 hot muffin pan cups with cooking spray. Spoon batter into prepared cups, adding about 1/4 cup batter to each cup.
• Bake 15 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF. Continue baking popovers 20 to 25 min. or until tops are puffed and golden brown. Transfer popovers from muffin pan to wire rack. Use sharp knife to cut slits in tops of popovers to vent the steam. Serve warm.

GRUYERE-THYME POPOVERS

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Combine thyme and Gruyere. Sprinkle over batter-filled popover cups. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.
