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.

HERB POPOVERS

I love popovers just out of the oven and slathered in butter. (UPDATE: ERROR CORRECTED SINCE 3-STAR REVIEW). In the oven, they should blow up like little balloons that have a hollow area inside. Watch their progress through the oven window as they cook, rather than opening the oven door. A muffin pan can be used in place of the custard cups.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning or 1 teaspoon herbes de provence
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Beat the eggs until thick and foamy and bright yellow.
  • Add the herbs.
  • Gradually stir in the milk.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and paprika.
  • Gradually beat the flour mixture into egg-milk mixture, beating 2-3 minutes.
  • Grease 6 heat-proof custard cups (5 oz each).
  • Pour herb mixture in cups, filling each one 2/3 full.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 Tbs cheese over each cup.
  • Place cups on oven rack.
  • Bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until puffed up, golden-brown and crusty.

Tips for Perfect Popovers:

- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, all-purpose flour, and unsalted butter are essential for achieving the best flavor and texture. - Use a hot oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) before baking the popovers. This will help them rise quickly and evenly. - Use a well-greased popover pan: Generously grease the cups of your popover pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent the popovers from sticking. - Fill the popover cups halfway: Don't overfill the cups, as the popovers will rise and expand during baking. - Bake the popovers until they are golden brown: The popovers should be baked for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. - Serve the popovers immediately: Popovers are best served immediately after baking, while they are still warm and fluffy.

Conclusion:

These spring herb popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With their light and airy texture and savory herb flavor, they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these popovers a try. You won't be disappointed!
