Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 6-cup popover pan or muffin tin in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Gradually add the milk and melted butter, whisking until combined.

Step 4

Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot popover pan or muffin tin from the oven. Spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling them about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 8

Once finished, remove the popovers from the oven and carefully release them from the pan. Serve immediately while warm.
