Cheese and Herb Popovers image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 popovers and 1 cup dip

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 16.5-ounce container (about 3 cups) multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 stems fresh rosemary
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the blistered tomato dip: Spray a popover pan with nonstick spray and place in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the tomatoes, olive oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, pepper, thyme and rosemary to a large skillet. Toss the tomatoes to evenly coat. Cook over medium heat until the skins blister and the juices release, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove and discard the herb sprigs and pulse in a blender 3 to 4 times to make a chunky dip (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
  • For the popovers: Clean the blender and put in the eggs and milk. Blend until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the Parmesan, chicken stock and butter. Blend until incorporated and homogenous, 1 minute more. Add the flour, parsley, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to the batter. Blend once again, just until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 6 popover cups, filling each halfway. Bake the popovers, rotating the pan after 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed above the edge of the pan, about 35 minutes.
  • Serve warm with the blistered tomato dip.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Popovers

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are fresh. Use high-quality butter and cheese for the best flavor.
  • Preheat your oven: This is essential for popovers to rise properly. Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before you start making the batter.
  • Mix the batter properly: Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the popovers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the popover tins correctly: Fill the tins about ⅔ full. If you overfill them, the popovers will not rise properly.
  • Bake the popovers until they are golden brown: This will take about 20-25 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the popovers to fall.

Cheesy popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. By following the tips in this article, you can make perfect popovers every time. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cheesy popovers a try. You won't be disappointed!
