Chive Popovers Recipes

BLUE CHEESE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, salt, cayenne, milk, oil, and flour together in a large measuring cup or mixing bowl just until blended.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour on the counter, or in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, up to overnight.
• Grease 14 nonstick muffin cups with butter, and then mist with cooking spray.
• Whisk the batter for a few seconds and fill each prepared muffin cup 4/5 full. Sprinkle each evenly with blue cheese.
• Place the muffin pans into a cold oven with a drip pan set underneath. Set the heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Bake in the oven until popovers are well browned and fully puffed, about 30 to 35 minutes. Poke each popover with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve hot.

CHEDDAR CHIVE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Prehet the oven to 450°. Spray a popover pan liberally with vegetable spray -- cover the interior and around the top. (Can also use muffin tins).
• To a blender add the eggs, milk flour, salt and butter IN THAT ORDER. Blend for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula and blend for an additional 15 seconds until combined.
• Add the cheddar cheese and chives and blend until just mixed.
• Fill the popover tins 2/3 full with batter and put into the hot oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 350° and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove the popovers from the oven and use a sharp knife to prick the dome of each muffin to allow steam to escape. Let the muffins rest in the popover tin for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack.
• Serve warm with butter.

CHIVE POPOVERS

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Whisk chives into batter. Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

BLUE CHEESE POPOVERS

• Whisk eggs, salt, cayenne, milk, oil, and flour together in a large measuring cup or mixing bowl just until blended.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour on the counter, or in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, up to overnight.
• Grease 14 nonstick muffin cups with butter, and then mist with cooking spray.
• Whisk the batter for a few seconds and fill each prepared muffin cup 4/5 full. Sprinkle each evenly with blue cheese.
• Place the muffin pans into a cold oven with a drip pan set underneath. Set the heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Bake in the oven until popovers are well browned and fully puffed, about 30 to 35 minutes. Poke each popover with a knife to allow steam to escape. Serve hot.

CHIVE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425oF. Butter 20 muffin cups. Mix all ingredients in bowl. Whisk until only tiny specks of flour remain, about 1 minute. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.) Divide batter among muffin cups. Without opening oven door at any point, bake popovers 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350oF and continue to bake until puffed, brown, and crisp, about 15 minutes longer. Loosen popovers from pans. Transfer to basket and serve hot.
