Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs until foamy; beat in milk until blended. Add flour and beat on low speed until well blended. Stir in cheese, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.

Brush 12-cup nonstick muffin generously with melted butter. Heat in oven for 2 min. Remove pan from oven and carefully scoop batter into cups, dividing equally (about a scant 1/3 cup/75 mL each).

Bake for 20 min, until puffed and golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 10 to 15 min or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Place muffin pan on a wire rack. Using a sharp knife, pierce the side of each popover. Let cool for 2 min. Remove from pans and serve hot.
