Garlic Parmesan Popovers
Easter is coming up this weekend. Do you have your menu planned? These Garlic Parmesan Popovers are the perfect addition to any holiday table or Sunday supper.
Skip all of the work of making bread and rolls and make popovers! If you can make pancake batter these light and airy are elegant, easy, and delicious.
Easy Elegance
I love elegant yet uncomplicated recipes and this recipe for Garlic Parmesan is a breeze! With just a simple batter and a handful of aromatics, your friends and family will be fighting to grab the last one.
Whether you’re serving a juicy turkey or elegant rack of lamb as your Easter main course, these airy and light rolls are perfect for dredging through those meat drippings. Their texture makes them irresistible on their own slathered in butter but ideal to absorb all of the flavors from your favorite roasts.
Traditionally called Yorkshire pudding these popovers get a makeover with fresh herbs, parmesan, and garlic powder. Part of what makes popovers so much fun is also what gives them their incredible texture. As the batter heats in the oven, they literally pop up and over the muffin tin they bake in. These perfectly portioned treats can easily be made in a muffin tin if you don’t have a popover pan.
Rosemary gives these popovers an aromatic woodsy flavor while fresh thyme adds a lemony bite. Both compliment the nutty, savory flavor of parmesan while garlic powder will have you going back for that second bite.
Batter Up with Garlic Parmesan Popovers
Get out your mixing bowl and muffin tin, and I will break down the steps and give you tips to set you up for total popover success.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Let your eggs come to room temperature. Room temperature eggs will help with that desired texture and puff.
- Whisk your eggs until they are light and foamy.
- Continue to whisk as you add in the flour and then the milk.
- Whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- Divide the batter between a muffin tin or popover pan.
- Allow the popovers to bake until a golden brown crust has formed. Do not removed them from the oven before that as they will deflate.
- Serve with your favorite roast, or spread with butter or cream cheese.
