Popover Egg Pies Food

POPOVERS

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.

CHICKEN POT PIE POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan generously with the baking spray.
• Whisk the milk, flour, vanilla, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until combined; let the batter stand for 5 minutes. Add the baking powder, whisking to combine, and divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about a scant 1/4 cup batter per muffin cup). Bake the popovers until puffed and browned around the edges, rotating the pan about halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the popovers are baking, whisk together the broth and flour in a medium saucepan until the flour is dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil; continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and half of the Cheddar. Stir in the peas and carrots, green beans and then the chicken; cover to keep warm.
• When the popovers are done, turn them out of the pan, using a small spatula if necessary. Arrange 2 popovers on each of 6 plates or bowls and top with the chicken filling, dividing evenly among the popovers. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar over the warm filling. Garnish with chopped parsley if using. Serve with the iced tea.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• If eggs and milk are cold, before combining, submerge whole eggs in warm water 10 minutes and heat milk until just warm. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a nonstick popover pan on rack in lowest position.
• After you have combined eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisk together until very frothy. This should only take about 1 minute. Have the flour and salt measured out and ready to go.
• Add flour and salt to egg mixture. We tested out a blender and an electric stand mixer when making the batter, but concluded that whisking by hand produces the most tender, airy popovers.
• Whisk flour and salt into egg mixture just until batter is the consistency of heavy cream with some small lumps remaining. See those air bubbles? They are what will cause the popovers to rise.
• Remove popover pan from oven and coat with cooking spray. If you prefer a standard muffin tin, only coat (and fill) the outer cups; they get better circulation in the oven. (Also, reduce baking time by 5 minutes.)
• Fill popover cups about three-quarters full with batter. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake until golden brown and dry to the touch, about 20 minutes more.
• Popovers lose their crunch if they linger in the pan, so turn them out on a wire rack immediately and poke a small opening in the side of each with a paring knife to let the steam escape. Serve right away.

EASY AND DELICIOUS CRUSTY POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put 12-cup muffin tin in oven to preheat as well.
• Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl with an electric hand mixer. Add flour and salt; continue beating into smooth batter.
• Put about 3/4 teaspoon butter into each muffin tin and carefully spread butter up sides of each cup. Quickly divide batter among prepared cups.
• Bake until popovers are risen well and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking.

POPOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease and flour six 6-ounce custard cups.
• In a medium bowl beat eggs slightly, Beat in flour, milk and salt until just smooth; being careful not to overbeat. Fill custard cups 1/2 full.
• Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 20 minutes more. Immediately remove from cups and serve piping hot.

PROSCIUTTO, SPINACH, AND EGG PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray a 6 cup muffin tin.
• Line the muffin cups with the prosciutto slices, pressing the prosciutto into the bottom and sides of each cup (the prosciutto slices will overlap each other on top of the tin).
• Crack 1 egg into each cup.
• Sprinkle the spinach over the eggs, then the Cheddar cheese, dividing them evenly.
• Top each serving with 4 tomato halves and season with salt and pepper. Bake the pies for 18 to 20 minutes, until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are starting to set but are still soft in the center. Timing might vary due to oven differences and preferences.
• Set them aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of each cup to loosen, then lift the pies out of the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

POPOVER EGG PIES

Steps:

• Generously brush 4-6 muffins cups with oil OR spray with non stick spray.
• Whisk eggs with tarragon and salt.
• Pour a little into each muffin cup.
• Divide potatoes, peas, and cheese among the cups, then pour remaining egg mixture over top.
• Cups will be very full.
• Bake in preheated 300 degree oven until eggs are very puffy and set when pan is jiggled -- about 30-35 minutes.
• Let stand 5 minutes, then run a knife around inside of each popover and using a spoon, scoop out.
• ***Note*** I found that if you use a non stick spray -- they just "pop" out.
