Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- 0 nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a standard muffin tin (or popover pan) in the oven while it heats to get the pan hot.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm but not simmering or boiling.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the warmed milk to the eggs, whisking continuously.
Step 4
Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Whisk in the melted butter until incorporated.
Step 6
Remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and quickly spray the cups with nonstick cooking spray. Work swiftly to keep the tin hot.
Step 7
Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the batter and sprinkle a generous pinch of Gruyere cheese on top of each filled cup.
Step 8
Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the oven door. Continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the popovers to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm!
