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.

PERFECT POPOVERS



Perfect Popovers image

By adding cheese (such as Parmesan), sugar, or spices to the batter, popovers can be suited to any occasion. For ease of use, a popover pan with a nonstick coating is the ideal baking vessel for popovers, but you can also use six-ounce custard dishes or a muffin tin.This recipe was featured on Martha Stewart Living TV.

BLUE CHEESE MINI POPOVERS



Blue Cheese Mini Popovers image

I was looking for a recipe to compliment a lighter apricot-balsamic roast chicken dish and stumbled onto these from the William Sonoma website and made a few minor adjustments. I was pleasantly surprised that not only did I like them, but DH (not a huge fan of blue cheese) ate 3 of them straight out of the oven. They are a nice treat from the usual biscuits or rolls.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white pepper
1 tablespoon of chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

  • Generously one 12-cup mini-muffin pan/mini popover tin with vegetable oil. (*If using a mini-muffin tin, make absolutely sure it is a quality non-stick pan or your popovers will not release after baking)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, white pepper and parsley.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs and butter.

  • Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a napkin-lined bowl or warmed platter. (*Note" No pricking required).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the popovers will be. Use fresh eggs, real butter, and high-quality cheese and pecans.
  • Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately: Popovers are a finicky pastry, and the measurements need to be precise in order for them to turn out well.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the popovers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat your oven thoroughly: The oven needs to be very hot in order for the popovers to rise properly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door will cause the popovers to fall.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese pecan popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these popovers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch dish, give these blue cheese pecan popovers a try.
