Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 ounces Brie cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan (or muffin tin) in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Whisk gently to incorporate.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then slowly add the milk while whisking continuously. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.

Step 5

Whisk in the melted butter just until incorporated.

Step 6

Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Grease the cups generously with additional melted butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the popover cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake the popovers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes without opening the door, as this could cause them to collapse.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the popovers are deep golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately pierce each popover with a sharp knife to release steam and prevent sogginess.

Step 11

Carefully cut a small slit in the side of each popover and insert a slice of Brie cheese. Allow the heat of the popovers to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 12

Serve the popovers warm, ideally with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flair.
