Blue Cheese Mini Popovers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Cool; finely chop.
• Increase oven temperature to 375°F. In blender, place eggs, flour, milk, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the salt. Cover; process until smooth, stopping to scrape down side as needed
• Grease 2 (6-cup) popover pans with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Pour batter evenly into pans, filling cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with chives, cheese and toasted pecans.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until browned and puffy. Pierce each popover in several places with thin wooden skewer. Bake 5 minutes longer or until crisp. Immediately remove from cups. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Generously one 12-cup mini-muffin pan/mini popover tin with vegetable oil. (*If using a mini-muffin tin, make absolutely sure it is a quality non-stick pan or your popovers will not release after baking)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, white pepper and parsley.
• In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs and butter.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk together until just combined (don't worry if a few lumps remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups to within about 1/4 inch of the rim (about 1 1/2 Tbs. each).
• Place 1 - 1.5 teaspoons crumbled cheese in the center of each filled cup.
• Bake for 10 minutes. (Do not open the oven door during this time.)
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until the popovers are brown and crusty and fully puffed, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a napkin-lined bowl or warmed platter. (*Note" No pricking required).
• You can also let these cool on wire racks for up to 2 hours, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

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.
