Description

These Hot Pepper Popovers transform a classic brunch staple into a savory delight. By incorporating pickled jalapeños into the batter, you get a perfect balance of crispy, golden crust and tender interior, punctuated by bursts of spicy heat. They are ideal served warm with butter, honey, or alongside breakfast meats. Easy to prepare with simple pantry staples, these popovers are a crowd-pleaser for Sunday brunches or as a unique savory snack. The high baking temperature ensures they rise dramatically, creating that signature popover texture that everyone loves.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450ðF (230ðC).
  2. Generously grease 24 muffin cups with butter or oil.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined.
  4. Add all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients.
  5. Stir just until blended; do not overmix, as the batter should remain lumpy.
  6. Fold in the diced pickled jalapeños gently.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the cold oven before turning it on, or place it in the preheated oven immediately.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes at 450ðF (230ðC). Do not open the oven door during this time.
  10. Using a skewer, carefully puncture each popover once to release steam.
  11. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the popovers are deep golden brown, crisp, and fully puffed.
  12. Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot.
