Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, plus 2 egg whites
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup extra-sharp aged white cheddar, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature, for coating the pans, plus more for serving
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 –In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, the egg whites, the milk, the flour, and the salt.
Step 3 –Stir the cheddar into the egg mixture.
Step 4 –Place two 6-cup popover pans in the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 5 –Transfer the pans from the oven and, working quickly, brush the cups with the butter and evenly divide the batter between the cups.
Step 6 –Return the pans to the oven and bake until the popovers are puffed over the pan rims and deep golden in color, about 25-30 minutes.
