Popovers complement nearly any meal and are a great alternative to dinner rolls. They can be filled with vegetables, such as chopped spinach or corn, and any variety of cheese. Serve warm from the oven with butter. Cheddar-Broccoli
Popovers 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 / 2 teaspoon salt 1 / 4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 cup milk 3 eggs 1 / 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 / 2 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Prepare a 6-cup popover pan by coating each cup with cooking spray and drizzling about 1 / 2 teaspoon of the butter in each.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Add wet ingredients to dry mixture and whisk vigorously until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese.
Fill each of the prepared popover cups about a third full with batter. Divide chopped broccoli between cups, then divide the remaining batter between cups, pouring it over the broccoli (the cups should be about two-thirds full ).
Bake popovers for 20 minutes at 450 degrees; reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 10 to 12 minutes more, or until popovers are risen and deep golden brown. Transfer popovers to a wire rack to cool briefly. Serve warm.
Makes 6 servings.
