A savory Herb Cheese Popovers recipe perfect for breakfast or brunch, simply blend and bake!
Do you remember when I used to share a new recipe every week?
I use to spend so much time creating and developing new recipes.
I’d spend the first 6 months of each year creating double the recipes so that by the first week of July I’d be 6 months ahead with recipe content creation so that I wouldn’t get behind during the hectic fall and Christmas seasons.
But since little Roger joined our family life has been extra busy, in a good way.
I will admit, I do miss creating new recipes and the lessons learned from trial and error.
For the last 17 months, Roger has been the primary cook/baker in our home.
And over the last year+, he has sporadically been working on creating a tasty popover recipe.
He started with a muffin pan trying our different basic/generic popover recipes but they didn’t have any flavor.
So he upgraded to this popover pan and started developing his own recipe with yummy flavor and a soft, moist, airy center.
I’ve taste tested a plethora of popovers with a variety of different cheeses, but this one with its creamy herb cheese is our absolute favorite!
Herb Cheese Popovers
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 28 minutes
- Total Time: 38 minutes
- Yield: 6 Popovers 1x
Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs, room temp
- 1 & 1/4th Cup 2% Milk, warm (~125 degrees)
- 3/4 Heaping Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Heaping Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3/4 Teaspoon Yellow Mustard
- 1 & 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/3 Cup Herb Gournay Cheese
Optional Toppings
- Herb Gournay Cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- First, place your popover pan in the oven and then preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a blender, add the 4 eggs, 1 & 1/4 cups milk, 3/4 heaping teaspoon salt, 1/2 heaping teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon yellow mustard. Blend on low for 15 seconds, then on medium for 15 seconds.
- Next, add the 1 & 1/4 cups flour and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Blend on low for 15 seconds, then on medium for 15 seconds.
- Then, add 1/3 cup herb gournay cheese. Blend on low for 15 seconds.
- Quickly and carefully remove the popover pan from the hot oven. Thoroughly spray oil in each popover cup and fill each cup, to almost full, with the popover mixture.*(1-2)
- Place the popovers in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450. degrees Fahrenheit.
- Then drop the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 8 more minutes. Do NOT open the oven while the popovers are baking.
- Once baked and golden, remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy! *(3)
Notes
- If you want to add crumbles of herb cheese to your popovers, pour popover mixture into each popover cup to 3/4 full, add 3-5 crumbles to each of them, then top each one with the remaining popover mixture.
- You want to work quickly since the pan is hot the batter will start baking as soon as it’s poured.
- CAUTION: There is a lot of hot steam trapped in the popovers, you can carefully pierce each one with a knife to release some of the heat/steam if desired. This is optional as it will also deflate a bit when you do this.
I hope you enjoy your popovers!
