To make this cheese popover recipe, preheat your oven to 450ºF and place a popover pan or muffin pan (*see recipe yield based on the type of pan used below) on the middle rack in the oven while the oven preheats.

Combine eggs and milk in a large bowl, whisking until frothy, approximately 1 minute. Alternately, you can use a blender to mix.

Add flour and salt, whisking vigorously to blend until evenly combined (if using blender, add the flour and salt directly to the blender). Scrape down the sides of the bowl or blender as you work. If you’re whisking by hand, it’s ok to have a few lumps.

Remove the hot popover pan or muffin pan from the oven and lightly coat each of the wells with cooking spray. Then fill the wells about ¾ full with batter for the popover pan (a little less in a muffin pan) and top each with the shredded Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar cheese, distributing as evenly as possible across all the wells.

Bake for 20 minutes at 450º, then reduce the oven temperature to 350º and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes. *If using a standard muffin tin or a mini-muffin tin, see alternate baking instructions in the recipe directions below.

Once baked, remove from the oven and turn popovers out of the pan. Serve immediately or reheat if having later.
