Spring Herb Popovers Recipes

Steps:

• For the blistered tomato dip: Spray a popover pan with nonstick spray and place in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes, olive oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, pepper, thyme and rosemary to a large skillet. Toss the tomatoes to evenly coat. Cook over medium heat until the skins blister and the juices release, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove and discard the herb sprigs and pulse in a blender 3 to 4 times to make a chunky dip (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• For the popovers: Clean the blender and put in the eggs and milk. Blend until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the Parmesan, chicken stock and butter. Blend until incorporated and homogenous, 1 minute more. Add the flour, parsley, thyme, scallions, salt and pepper to the batter. Blend once again, just until incorporated.
• Divide the batter evenly among the 6 popover cups, filling each halfway. Bake the popovers, rotating the pan after 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed above the edge of the pan, about 35 minutes.
• Serve warm with the blistered tomato dip.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray two 6-cup popover pans or twelve 6-ounce custard cups with cooking spray.
• Place all ingredients in blender. Cover and blend on medium speed about 15 seconds, stopping blender to scrape sides if necessary, just until smooth.
• Fill cups about 1/2 full. Bake 20 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cups. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Beat the eggs until thick and foamy and bright yellow.
• Add the herbs.
• Gradually stir in the milk.
• Sift together the flour, salt and paprika.
• Gradually beat the flour mixture into egg-milk mixture, beating 2-3 minutes.
• Grease 6 heat-proof custard cups (5 oz each).
• Pour herb mixture in cups, filling each one 2/3 full.
• Sprinkle 1/2 Tbs cheese over each cup.
• Place cups on oven rack.
• Bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until puffed up, golden-brown and crusty.
