Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (optional, freshly ground)
• 0 cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a standard muffin pan or popover pan in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should have a consistency similar to heavy cream.

Step 3

Fold in 3/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, reserving 1/4 cup for topping later.

Step 4

Remove the hot muffin or popover pan from the oven and quickly grease each cup with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Fill each cup in the prepared pan halfway with the batter. Avoid overfilling to ensure they puff properly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the top of each filled cup with the reserved Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C) without opening the oven door.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to prevent sogginess.

Step 10

Serve the Parmesan Popovers warm, either on their own or with butter. Enjoy!
