Gruyere Popovers

Transform your table with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked Gruyere Popovers—an elegant twist on a classic comfort food. These light and airy delights achieve their signature puff thanks to a rich, velvety batter made from simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and eggs. The addition of nutty, grated Gruyere cheese elevates the flavor profile, making each bite buttery, cheesy, and impossibly crisp on the outside. Perfectly golden and speckled with a hint of black pepper, these popovers are ideal for brunch spreads, holiday dinners, or as a show-stopping accompaniment to soups and salads. With just 10 minutes of prep time and straightforward directions, you'll savor that bakery-style perfection straight from your own oven.

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, warm the whole milk over low heat until it is lukewarm. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are pale and frothy.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the warm milk, melted unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper to the eggs until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually sift in the flour, whisking constantly to ensure the batter stays smooth and lump-free.

Step 6

Fold in the grated Gruyere cheese, reserving about 2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top of the popovers.

Step 7

Carefully remove the pre-heated pan from the oven and generously grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 8

Fill each cup of the popover pan or muffin tin about two-thirds full with the batter.

Step 9

Sprinkle the reserved Gruyere cheese on top of each filled cup.

Step 10

Bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes without opening the oven door.

Step 11

After 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and puffy.

Step 12

Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
