Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a standard 6-cup muffin tin in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually whisk in the milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter.

Step 6

Stir in the melted butter, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves (if using).

Step 7

Carefully remove the preheated muffin tin from the oven and spray each cup generously with nonstick cooking spray or grease well with butter.

Step 8

Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, then evenly distribute the crumbled goat cheese among the cups, letting some sink into the batter and some remain on top.

Step 9

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C). Do not open the oven door during this time.

Step 10

Lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the popovers are golden and crisp.

Step 11

Remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, carefully release them using a butter knife if needed.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, tangy goodness!
