Ingredients

3 eggs
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence
4 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 cups whole milk
3/4 cup grated Parmesan (about 5 ounces)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a blender, combine eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and herbs, milk, and cheese. Blend on medium speed.

Spray a mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 full. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove popovers from muffin tin and cool on a wire rack. Save in a storage container to take to the picnic.

Soft flour or oven temp is likely to blame for poor result
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I see a lot of people got poor results where there popover didn't hold its shape. This could be due to the flour used. ... There is no standard protein content for flour and some flours (particularly in the South where flours are formulated for pies, cakes, and biscuits) have less protein than others - hence they have less gluten to hold the structure of the popover. Try using a bread flour next time and see if that helps. Another problem is the recipe did not tell you to preheat the muffin pans which is essential to good results. Let them get hot in the oven for a couple of minutes before pouring in the batter. Lastly, it is important the oven is REALLY hot. If you don't have an oven thermometer, get one. Many ovens are off by a lot and your 400 may actually be 375 - so check the oven temp with a thermometer. Hope that helps!Read more

Bland spongy eggs sums it up.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I agree with all the other reviews that said these taste bland. Spongy eggs is a good description. I was very disappointed.... These looked great but tasted awful.Read more

easy peasy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It was so easy and quick!! Next time I'll add the parsley last because it made my batter green, after they baked they were... still green. Besides that I will definitely try these again. They popped perfectly fine for meRead more

Bland and "Eggy"
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I read the reviews and remembered that Giada said NOT to open the oven when baking them. I did everything perfectly and they... came out puffy and beautiful looking but they tasted like microwaved eggs. I was very dissappointed. Read more

So easy to show off with these
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw them on the show and made them right away. I can't believe how little preparation comes in to do them, even without a... mixer. Easy to cook, both in small muffin pans and bigger ones. I keep on making them every time I'm out of bread. Thank you Giada!Read more
