Blue Cheese Popovers
SERVING SIZE: 6 SERVINGS
Legend has it that blue cheese goes back to the 7th century when a distracted shepherd forgot his lunch of bread and cheese in a cave near the village of Roquefort, France. How fortunate for us, as today this crumby, refined, piquant cheese turns everyday popovers into something divine. Our Blue Cheese Popovers are the perfect standalone snack or complement to any meal.
WHAT YOU NEED
1 jar RFK Triple Berry Artisan Fruit Spread (for spreading)
1 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled,
plus 1 tsp. at room temperature for pan3–3/4 oz. flour (approx. 1 cup)
1–1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 oz. blue cheese crumbles
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 popover pan
INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Allow time for the eggs and milk to come to room temperature.
Place rack in lower third of oven with no other racks above it. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a paper towel, rub 1 tsp. butter inside the six popover cups until they are well greased.
Add the melted, cooled butter, flour, salt, blue cheese crumbles, eggs and milk to a blender or food processor. Process for 30 seconds until the ingredients are mixed into a wet batter. Pour the batter evenly between the cups of the popover pan. Each should be 1/3 to 1/2 full.
No matter how temping, do NOT open the oven while baking! Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350 degrees. Continue baking about 20 more minutes, until puffed and brown.
Remove pan from oven, and carefully pierce the sides of the popover with a toothpick to allow steam to escape. Serve immediately with RFK Triple Berry Artisan Fruit Spread.
