Parmesan Chive Popovers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees 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 to take to the picnic.

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.

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.

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.)
• Whisk chives into batter. Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. 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.

Steps:

• 1. Place oven rack in next-to-lowest position, and preheat oven to 450°F Set 12-cup muffin pan on baking sheet and place in oven.
• 2. Whisk together flour, Parmesan cheese, chives, salt, and pepper in bowl. Whisk together milk, eggs, and margarine in separate bowl. Gradually whisk egg mixture into flour mixture, making sure not to overmix.
• 3. Divide popover batter among hot muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. Return muffin pan on baking sheet to oven, and bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 F, bake 20 to 25 minutes or more, or until popovers are puffed and well browned. Cool slightly before serving.
