Chive popovers are a light and fluffy pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are made with a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, and are flavored with chives. Popovers are traditionally cooked in a muffin tin, but they can also be made in a popover pan. They are typically served with butter, jam, or honey.

Here are our top 4 tried and tested recipes!

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 large popovers or 10 small popovers

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
Vegetable-oil nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup minced chives

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.

Time 2h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons unsalted butter: 1 tablespoon melted, plus 1 tablespoon to grease tin
1 egg
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup minced chives
1 large lemon, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup water
3 cloves garlic, roasted, peeled, smashed into a paste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 quarts chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium canned)
8 new potatoes, scrubbed, cut into quarters
4 small leeks, rinsed, trimmed, split lengthwise, white parts only
1/2 pound fresh cranberry beans, hulled
8 small carrots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 pounds fava beans, peeled twice
2 cups steamed spinach
1/2 cup minced parsley

Steps:

  • To make the popovers, grease an eight-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon of butter. Put the egg, yogurt, milk, melted butter, flour, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until combined. Fill each tin 1/4 full and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon minced chives. Add more batter until each cup is half full.
  • Put the muffin tin in a cold oven and set the heat to 450 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until the popovers are lightly golden, about 15 to 20 more minutes. Take popovers out of tins immediately. Cool on a rack.
  • To make the pot-au-feu, put the lemon slices in a skillet, add salt, sugar and water. Simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mince when cool. Put the minced lemon in a food processor or blender, add the roasted garlic and olive oil and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, pour the chicken broth in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, leeks and cranberry beans. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add the carrots and simmer gently until tender, about an additional 10 minutes. Add the fava beans and simmer for 1 minute more. Using a slotted spoon, take all of the vegetables out of the pot. Set aside.
  • Bring the broth to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until it reduces to 4 cups, about 10 to 15 minutes. Wreath the inside of 4 bowls with spinach and add the vegetables. Set aside. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in the pureed lemon and garlic. Strain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle broth into bowls and garnish with parsley. Serve with popovers.

I'm very excited to show you this new, and possibly slightly improved, popover recipe. While we may have tweaked the ingredient amounts a little bit, we are still going to be using our foolproof, cold-oven method for making these. The reason this technique is so fun to use, is that it's literally the opposite of everything every popover expert says you should do.

CHIVE PEPPER POPOVERS RUSINOW



Chive Pepper Popovers Rusinow image

Provided by Rozz Rusinow

Yield Makes 6 large or 9 medium popovers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup milk
1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Generously grease six 2/3-cup popover cups or nine 1/2-cup muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer combine milk, flour, oil, and salt and beat mixture on high speed 1 minute. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating 20 seconds after each addition, and beat in chives and pepper.
  • Divide batter among cups and put in middle of a cold oven. Set oven at 425°F. and bake popovers 35 to 40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chives. Fresh chives have a more delicate flavor than dried chives. If you don't have fresh chives, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried chives.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough popovers.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the popovers rise quickly.
  • Bake the popovers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the popovers immediately. Popovers are best when served warm.

Conclusion:

Chive popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With their light and airy texture, chive popovers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
