Gruyere Popovers
Gruyere Popovers
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups whole milk, warmed
- 4 large eggs
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 424°F. Place popover pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
- 2
Whisk flour and salt in a medium bowl to blend; set aside.
- 3
Whisk eggs in a large bowl to blend.
- 4
Gradually whisk warm milk into eggs. (Popovers rise better if the batter is at room temperature so it's best to warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove for a few seconds before adding them to the batter.)
- 5
Gradually stir flour mixture into the milk mixture until just combined.
- 6
Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Spray pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the cups of the hot tin, filling almost to the top. Generously sprinkle with cheese.

Bake the popovers until crisp and golden, about 40 minutes. (Opening the oven door while the popovers are baking will cause the heat to escape and the steam inside the popovers to condense, causing it to collapse. So don't give in to the temptation and open the oven door for at least the first half hour of baking. Just peek through the window.)
40 min - 8
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with jam or butter.
