BLUE CHEESE POPOVERS



Blue Cheese Popovers image

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.

GIANT-SIZED POPOVERS



Giant-Sized Popovers image

I discovered this recipe in Lee Lee's Recipe Box. The description to the recipe reads as follows: "These Giant-Size Popovers are made in individual containers to allow lots of room for rising. They can be filled with creamed ham, chicken, or seafood and served as a main dish, or they can be served piping hot with plenty of butter." Be sure when you make these to spread the custard cups out. These babies puff up pretty big ; ) I hope you will enjoy them!

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the popovers tough.
  • Bake the popovers in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This will cause the popovers to collapse.
  • Serve the popovers immediately. They are best eaten fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Giant cheese popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday meals.
