Ingredients

1/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons reserved beef fat, butter, or vegetable oil (or a combination)
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces goat cheese, cut or crumbled into 18 to 20 equal pieces

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Brush 18 to 20 wells of 2 popover or muffin tins with some of the melted fat. Place tins in the oven to heat while you prepare the popover batter.

Combine the eggs, flour, salt, thyme, rosemary, and pepper in a blender and blend until well combined. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the blender. While the blender is running, add the milk and cream in a slow stream until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Remove tins from the oven and fill each prepared well halfway with some of the batter. Place a piece of the cheese in the center of each cup and pour the remaining batter over so that the cups are filled 2/3 of the way. Bake the popovers until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Best tasting Yorkshire Pudding, Yet!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this with pot roast and roasted parsnips, turnips, and carrots. These had a great flavor, not as eggy as the ones I... have made in the past. They did collapse and were not as large or as pretty as the ones I have made in the past. I will make these again and add more herbs and salt.Read more

THE BEST!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for Xmas dinner with family and friends. I was concerned that there was not a correct balance between eggs and... liquid ingredients, so I baked a batch early. The recipe was perfect and the turnovers looked beautiful. Everyone raved about their great taste.Read more

YUM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have had some minor success with Yorkshire Pudding in the past, but this popover recipe is excellent! Simple recipe, and... popped as promised. The herbs and goat cheese give it such a wonderful taste. I read others reviews, and was concerned about the potential for an eggy taste. I didn't have that problem. They deflated after taking them out of the oven, but that's to be expected with all those eggs. They still looked good deflated and everyone enjoyed them. This one is a keeper for me!Read more

Pooooffffff!!!!!!!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe was very easy to follow and the end result tasted good but the minute they came out of the pan they deflated. It... was fun watching them ocok and puff up and disappointing when they fell and were as flat as could be. I used goat cheese with cranberries and walnuts mixed in and it really added to the taste. If anyone knows how to amend this recipe so they stay poofed up, please drop me an email at Saphyreblue@msn.com It was fun trying this. Jocelyn in St. Paul, MNRead more
