For the best rise, ensure your eggs and milk are truly at room temperature. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Parmesan, or even a sharp cheddar would be delicious alternatives. If you don't have nonstick muffin tins, be extra diligent with the butter and cooking spray to prevent sticking. Popovers are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. However, if you have leftovers, you can reheat them in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to crisp them up.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large measuring cup or mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, oil, salt, and cayenne pepper until just combined. Avoid overmixing. (2 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or for 2 to 3 hours (or even overnight) in the refrigerator. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender popover. (1-3 hours)
03
StepGenerously grease 14 nonstick muffin cups with softened butter, ensuring you reach all the nooks and crannies. Follow with a mist of nonstick cooking spray for extra insurance against sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepGive the batter a quick whisk and fill each prepared muffin cup about 4/5 full. Sprinkle the tops evenly with crumbled blue cheese. (5 minutes)
05
StepPlace the muffin pans into a cold oven with a drip pan set on the rack below to catch any potential drips. Set the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Bake until the popovers are well-browned and fully puffed, about 30 to 35 minutes. Resist the temptation to open the oven door during baking! (30-35 minutes)
06
StepOnce baked, poke each popover with a sharp knife to release steam, which will help prevent them from becoming soggy. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness! (2 minutes)

Apr 8, 2025Resting the batter is key! I tried making them without resting the batter and they were dense and flat.
