Pop on Over


 Last weekend was taste test kitchen day at our house.
So sorry you missed it! :)
Trying out lots of different snacky recipes...
keeping some and tossing some.
These Bleu Cheese Popovers are about
the yummiest thing ever!
Ironically, the same time I was making our popovers,
unbeknownst to us, our daughter Shelby,
was trying out the awesome
Foreign & Domestic in Austin, Texas
and eating their famous Gruyere Popovers.
They are great for breakfast, brunch, lunch,
snack time, supper time...well, you get the idea.

You should whip some of these up real soon -
even if you're not a big fan of bleu cheese
 the flavor is so mild
you might not even know there's bleu cheese in them
(well, maybe)

BLEU CHEESE POPOVERS

WHAT YOU NEED:
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 oz. Gorgonzola bleu cheese, crumbled
freshly ground black pepper
WHAT TO DO:
Preheat oven to 425.
In a medium size bowl,
lightly whisk together eggs and milk.
Quickly mix in flour and salt
without over mixing.
Batter will be slightly lumpy.
Unless you have a popover pan,
spray a large muffin pan
with non-stick spray.
(Popover pans generally make
the popover taller and more dramatic -
not changing the flavor in the least)
Pour batter into 10 muffin cups.
Sprinkle crumbled bleu cheese
evenly among all 10 cups.
Using a wooden spoon
pat cheese down into the batter
so it is not exposed.
Generously sprinkle black pepper
on top of each and bake for 15 minutes.
NO PEEKING - these are supposed to
be popovers and puff up.
Keep that heat in the oven!
After 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350
and bake 12-15 more minutes
or until deep golden brown.
Immediately remove muffins from pan
(you can scrape edges with a knife
if they begin to stick)


Super yummy any time of day!

ENJOY!

    2. These are evil. Bet you can't eat just five. Yeah, they were that "bad". Can't wait to try them with blue cheese.
