Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a standard 12-cup muffin tin or popover pan in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy. This helps to create light, airy popovers.

Step 3

Gradually add the whole wheat flour while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder until the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and lightly spray each cup with non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about halfway full. Working quickly is key to maintaining the pan's heat.

Step 6

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Do not open the oven door during this time to ensure the popovers puff properly.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Use a knife to loosen the edges if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh chives (if desired) and serve warm. Enjoy your healthier Parmesan popovers as a delicious side or snack!
