Perfect Parmesan Popovers Recipes

PERFECT POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a popover tin.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture, and fold until just blended.
• Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full.
• Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately.

PARMESAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400*F.
• In a blender, combine eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and herbs, milk, and cheese. Blend on medium speed.
• Spray a mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 full. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove popovers from muffin tin and cool on a wire rack. Save in a storage container.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, 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.

GREEN ONION-PARMESAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush twelve 1/3-cup (standard) nonstick muffin cups or six 1-cup (large) nonstick muffin cups with 3 tablespoons melted butter; dust with 2/3 cup cheese. Beat eggs to blend in large bowl. Beat in milk and green onions, then remaining 1/2 cup melted butter. Blend flour, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup cheese in medium bowl; gradually whisk into egg mixture (some small lumps may remain).
• Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake popovers without opening oven until puffed and crusty brown, about 38 minutes for small and 48 minutes for large; turn out of pan and serve hot.

TRADITIONAL POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spray a popover pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place pan on center rack of oven and preheat for 2 minutes.
• Blend flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until it looks like heavy cream, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut chilled butter into 6 even pieces. Place 1 piece of butter in each cup and place pan back in oven until butter is bubbly (about 1 minute).
• Fill each cup half full with batter and bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

PERFECT POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
• Grease a 6-cup popover pan (or use muffin tins)--very important to grease pan very well. I don't think Pam is good enough - I used both Pam and butter to grease the tins.
• In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup whisk together flour and salt.
• In another mixing bowl or large measuring cup (I used a 2-cup measuring cup), whisk milk and eggs together until blended.
• Add egg/milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring well with a whisk. (If you use the large mesuring cup (mine was 4-cups) it is very easy to pour into the popover tins.).
• Pour batter into the prepared popover cups.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR WHILE POPOVERS ARE COOKING.
• Reduce heat to 350-degrees F and bake 20 minutes more.
• 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).

BACON PARMESAN POPOVERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk. Combine flour, cheese and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain. Grease cups of a nonstick popover pan well with some of the bacon drippings; set aside. Stir bacon into batter; fill prepared cups two-thirds full., Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° (do not open oven door). Bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer (do not underbake)., Run a table knife or small metal spatula around edges of cups to loosen if necessary. Immediately remove popovers from pan; prick with a small sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Serve immediately.

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.
