Calories: 338kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded, divided
Instructions
- Cook the bacon on a large frying pan until crispy. Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Grease a 6-cup popover pan; set aside. (See note)
- In a large bowl, add eggs, milk and melted butter; whisk together until well combined.
- Add flour and salt; mix until batter is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and ¾ cup of shredded cheese.
- Fill each cup in the pan slightly more than half-full with batter. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheese evenly across the cups.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
- Without opening the oven door, reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking for 12-15 more minutes, or until popovers have puffed up and are dark golden brown in color.
- Let popovers cool slightly before serving.
Notes
These popovers can also be baked in a jumbo-muffin pan. If you make smaller popovers using a standard muffin pan, then you will also need to reduce the baking time.
