Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Manchego cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 6-cup muffin pan or popover pan on the middle rack to warm while the oven preheats.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded Manchego cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Carefully remove the hot muffin or popover pan from the oven and generously coat each cup with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Do not open the oven during this time, as the popovers need steam to rise.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately transfer the popovers to a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
