BLACK PEPPER AND GRUYERRE POPOVERS



Black Pepper and Gruyerre Popovers image

These are so easy. They are comical to look at, as they pop up tall out of the pan like a bread version of a jack-in-the-box. They have a rustic, crunchy exterior, and a delicate and light interior. And you could probably flavor them with any combination of herbs or spices you want. From Menu Musings.

There are three secrets to great popovers: Make sure the pan is hot before you pour in the batter, fill each section not more than half full and no peeking while they're in the oven!

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Yield 18 popovers

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups milk, warmed
8 eggs
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
2 1/4 cups grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Place a popover pan in the oven and heat until oven and pan reach 350. Gently warm the milk over low heat and set aside. Whisk the eggs until frothy and slowly whisk in the milk (so as not to cook the eggs). Set the mixture aside. Sift the flour with the salt. Slowly add the dry mixture and gently combine until almost smooth.
  • Once combined, remove the popover pan from the oven and spray with non-stick vegetable spray. While the batter is still slightly warm or at room temperature (not cool), fill each popover cup 3/4 full. Top each popover with 2 1/2 Tablespoons for grated gruyere.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 large popovers or 10 small popovers

Number Of Ingredients 7

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
6 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
Freshly ground pepper

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.)
  • Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Sprinkle bacon over batter-filled popover cups; sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. 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.
