Bacon Cheddar Popovers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
2 scallions, trimmed & chopped (I subbed with minced sweet onions)

Preparation

1. Coat 8 cups of a popover/muffin pan with non-stick spray. Be sure to fill empty cups with water to avoid burning pan. Pre-heat oven to 450\u00b0F.
2. Whisk flour and salt together in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Add to the flour mixture and stir until blended. Fold in cheese, bacon and scallion.
3. Fill popover/muffin cups 3/4 full (approx. 1/3 cup batter in each). Bake at 450\u00b0 for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350\u00b0 and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until browned and puffed. ***Keep oven closed until the end of baking time or else the popovers will deflate.***.
4. Remove popovers from the oven. Immediately remove popovers from pan to cool. Pierce sides once with a knife to release steam.
5. Serve warm. (Re-heat at 350\u00b0 for 5 minutes to crisp the outside edges, if needed.).
