Parmesan Popovers With Pesto Sauce
Description
This recipe uses a batter of eggs, milk, and flour blended to smoothness, then combined with Parmesan cheese and a pesto made from basil and walnuts. The popover pan is preheated in a hot oven to ensure a strong rise. After pouring the batter into greased cups halfway, the popovers bake first at 450°F to puff and form a crust, then the temperature is lowered to 350°F to finish baking evenly without burning. Baking times total about 30-35 minutes. The finished popovers have a golden, lightly browned surface with a tender crumb inside. These popovers can be served as an appetizer, side, or with meals that benefit from a savory bread option. The inclusion of pesto in the batter distinguishes these popovers with an herbal, nutty flavor profile.
