Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cup Chopped spinach
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0 N/A Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or popover pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour and salt into the wet mixture, whisking until combined and no lumps remain. The batter should be thin and smooth.
Step 4
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway full.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, and chopped spinach.
Step 6
Sprinkle a small amount of the cheese, ham, and spinach mixture into the center of each filled muffin cup. The toppings will sink slightly into the batter.
Step 7
Season each popover with a pinch of ground black pepper for added flavor.
Step 8
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. Do not open the oven door during this time.
Step 9
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown.
Step 10
Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before gently removing them from the tin.
Step 11
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Popover Egg Pies with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal!
