There's something so fun about popovers, isn't there? I love the popovers with strawberry butter from Neiman Marcus' Zodiac Room, and the gruyere and black pepper ones from Foreign and Domestic in Austin are out of this world. But making popovers at home is also super easy!
The batter takes all of about 3 minutes to put together, they go in the oven, and in 40 minutes you have giant, gorgeous carb-y goodness. I made these with yummy Manchego cheese, smoked paprika, and a little bit of truffle salt from The Spice House on top. Ridiculous, decadent, delicious. Just what you need for Wednesday!
Manchego Popovers with Truffle Salt
yields 6 popovers
you'll need:
2 cups whole milk
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cups AP flour
Manchego cheese, cut into 6 1/2" cubes, plus more shredded for topping
truffle salt, for topping
Preheat the oven to 375 F and place a popover pan on top of a baking sheet in to pre-heat. Meanwhile, pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave until very hot, but not boiling, about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and paprika. Slowly whisk in the milk. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is fully combined (little lumps are okay).
Remove the pan and baking sheet from the oven and coat with cooking spray. Pour the batter to the top of each of the popover cups (pouring it high will ensure a big beautiful popover). Place a cube of cheese on top of the batter in each cup and sprinkle with truffle salt.
Bake for 40 minutes. Do not open the oven to peek!
Carefully remove the pans and sprinkle each popover with the extra grated cheese. Allow to cool for just a minute or two, then enjoy!
Truffle Salt, say what?! And cheesy popovers on hump day, you're a genius.
ReplyDeleteWhat could go wrong?!
DeleteIt was those popover from NM that had me making my own a while back, too! And you are so right - so easy and so delicious. I've wanted to make a different version for a while...yours sounds absolutely divine!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monica! Those NM popovers are the bestttt!
DeleteSeriously gorgeous Marie!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maria! xo
Deletei havent had popovers in so long but cheese and salt together sounds divine.plus those plates are gorgeous. I dont have a popover pan do you think muffin tin will work?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making them in a muffin tin, but I've seen Ina do it on her show, so it must work just fine!
DeleteBasically I would eat all of these and fall into a cheese and carb coma! YUMMM!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that may or may not have been the case for me... ;)
DeleteThree minutes you say? That sounds like my kind of baking! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, definitely!
DeleteI love anything with cheese...and popovers are definitely on that list! The truffle salt is such a nice added touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear! xo
DeleteI need to buy myself a popover pan so I can make these!
ReplyDeleteA muffin tin should also work! But the popover pan does give them that fun shape!
Deletewe had cheddar bacon popovers at a restaurant last weekend that i'm dying to recreate, but these sound amazing too!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Those sound so good!
DeleteHi Marie, you make these sounds easy to make, love this combination!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheri!
