Neiman Marcus Popovers with Strawberry Butter

There’s a woman I must tell you about. Now, you probably don’t know her but you should. Because just knowing her makes you a better person. She has taught me to be brave in situations that I think I can’t handle, to love when it seems impossible to, to give until there’s nothing left to give, and to be strong during the toughest storms. She has the biggest heart I’ve ever seen and I am thankful everyday that I have her in my life.

She is my mom.

goat cheese and rosemary mini popovers

Posted by In Sock Monkey Slippers with 7 Comments

Is there anything better than a fresh warm popover? Popovers are so insanely easy I don’t know why I don’t make them more often. Oh wait, yes I do. Because there is not one ounce of willpower in me to resist eating the entire batch. 

Quick and easy, these Goat Cheese and Rosemary Mini Popovers are light and airy with a deep flavor that is sinfully good.

Goat Cheese and Rosemary Mini Popovers makes 20

  • 3 eggs, room temperature*
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 oz. goat cheese
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
*cooks tips: If you forget to let the eggs sit at room temperature like I always do, just place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for a couple of minutes.

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. In a blender, combine eggs, milk, cheese, rosemary, salt and pepper. Blend on medium until combined.

3. Add flour and pulse until combined, about 10 to 20 seconds. Be careful not to over blend or the popovers will be tough. You just want to make sure that all of the flour is incorporated.

4. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or softened butter. Pour the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 the way full.5. Place in the oven and bake until puffy and slightly golden, about 20 to 23 minutes.6. Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack. Devour immediately.

So incredibly good and I have witnessed my child try to sneak them out of the kitchen.
