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.

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:

  • To achieve a light and airy texture, whisk the eggs and milk separately before combining them. This incorporates more air into the batter.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This allows them to combine more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
  • When adding the grated cheese, use a light hand to mix it in. Over-mixing can lead to a tough texture.
  • For a crispy exterior, brush the tops of the popovers with melted butter before baking.
  • Keep an eye on the popovers while they bake. They should be golden brown and puffed up.

Conclusion:

These giant cheese popovers are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
