Popovers are similar to Yorkshire puddings and this version has added herbs and the wonderful zip of Canadian Swiss cheese. Serve them as a side dish with roast chicken, pork, and of course, roast beef.

  • Prep. Time 10 mins
  • Cooking Time 30 - 35 mins
  • Yields 12 popovers

Preparation

What You Need

3 eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) shredded Canadian Swiss cheese
1/4 cup (50 ml) chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp (10 ml) chopped fresh thyme or
chives or
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs until foamy; beat in milk until blended. Add flour and beat on low speed until well blended. Stir in cheese, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.

Brush 12-cup nonstick muffin generously with melted butter. Heat in oven for 2 min. Remove pan from oven and carefully scoop batter into cups, dividing equally (about a scant 1/3 cup/75 mL each).

Bake for 20 min, until puffed and golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 10 to 15 min or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Place muffin pan on a wire rack. Using a sharp knife, pierce the side of each popover. Let cool for 2 min. Remove from pans and serve hot.


Tips

For appetizers, make popovers in 36 cups of mini muffins pans, using a heaping tablespoon (15 mL) batter per cup. Reduce baking time to 10 min at each oven temperature. Serve plain or topped with fruit chutney or smoked salmon and crème fraîche.

Use Canadian Asiago or aged Provolone cheese in place of the Canadian Swiss and add 1/4 tsp (1 mL) smoked paprika with the flour.

    Change the type of flour to: 1cup all purpose unbleached flour & 1/2cup whole wheat flour

    or : 1 cup NUTRI flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat.
    This change will provide higher fiber.
