For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Fontina, for a unique flavor profile. Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and nutty flavor. Serve immediately after baking for the ultimate popover experience. A drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of crème fraîche complements the flavors beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously spray 6 custard cups with cooking spray to ensure the popovers release easily. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, all-purpose flour, eggs, and salt until the batter is smooth and fully combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture. (5 minutes)
03
StepPlace a piece of butter in each prepared cup. Sprinkle each cup evenly with grated Cheddar cheese, brown sugar, and ground nutmeg. Arrange the thinly sliced pear in a decorative pattern within each cup, ensuring an even distribution. (10 minutes)
04
StepCarefully pour the batter evenly into the prepared custard cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for expansion during baking. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the popovers are puffed up, golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent them from deflating. (20 minutes)
