Cheesy Popovers
Popovers come in all flavors and profiles - sweet to savory and everything in between. But cheese popovers, those are something special. Ooey-gooey, melty cheese mixed in with a tender, soft bread is like a little bite of heaven.

Ingredients
- 4 whole eggs at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons green onions/chives chopped
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the milk and salt, then continue whisking for a couple more minutes.
- Gradually add the flour to the egg mixture and mix until smooth without any lumps.
- Gently fold in the cheddar cheese and green onions, and then set the mixture aside to rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position the popover pan in a baking tray and place it on the lower rack of the oven as it preheats.
- Once preheating is complete, apply cooking spray to the popover pan and carefully pour the prepared batter into each slot, filling them almost to the top.
- Return the baking tray to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees F. After that, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, take the baking tray out of the oven and gently pierce the tops of the popovers with a butter knife to release steam. Allow the popovers to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Slice the popovers and serve them with butter to enjoy.
Notes
-
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. This helps create a better popover structure and ensures even baking.
- Preheat the pan: Preheat your popover pan in the oven before adding the batter. This helps the popovers rise properly and ensures they don't stick to the pan.
- Rest the batter: Allow the batter to rest for 10-30 minutes before baking. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and results in a lighter texture.
- Fill cups two-thirds full: Fill each cup in the popover pan about two-thirds full with batter. This gives the popovers room to expand as they rise.
