Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup ground sausage (cooked, crumbled, and drained)
• 0.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (optional)
• 1 as needed vegetable oil or nonstick spray (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 12-cup muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the melted butter, followed by the flour and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the batter rests, cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Carefully remove the hot muffin tin or popover pan from the oven. Grease each cup generously with vegetable oil or nonstick spray.

Step 6

Fill each cup about halfway with the batter. Sprinkle a small amount of cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into each cup. Add a light pinch of black pepper if desired.

Step 7

Place the pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven door during this time to ensure the popovers rise properly.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the popovers cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
