Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Mini pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (for dipping, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease a standard 12-well muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined. Add the milk and melted butter to the eggs and whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly, until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, mini pepperoni slices, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin tin wells, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking, as this can cause the popovers to deflate.
Step 8
Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 9
Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your Pepperoni Pizza Popovers!
