When it comes to bread , I think it’s safe to say that muffins are my favorite. Whether they’re sweet , like these Blueberry Granola Muffins , or savory , like these Breakfast Egg Muffins , or somewhere in between , like these Maple Bacon Pancake Muffins , I’m pretty much always a fan.
And as much as I love eating them , I love making them , too! Because they’re quick…and easy…and nearly impossible to mess up. Which , quite honestly , is the only kind of recipe I really want in my life. (Who’s with me!?)
But every now and then , I get a craving for a different kind of bread. Something more crusty , more airy , less dense. Something like these Bacon Cheddar Popovers!
They’re just as quick and easy and fool-proof as muffins….but with all those other delicious bread qualities that muffins just can’t offer. Like a crusty outside and a light , hollow inside and that airy texture that popovers are known for.
And these Bacon Cheddar Popovers have the added deliciousness of bacon and cheese , which clearly make everything better.
We’ve been enjoying them as a dinner side dish and we’ve especially been loving them for breakfast. Nothing beats a popover fresh out of the oven , and between the eggs and the cheese and the bacon? They’re like a complete meal all in one. Next up on my list? I can’t wait to try these sweet Churro Popovers….yum!
And since I like to keep things simple , you better believe I grabbed all the ingredients for these popovers at my favorite grocery store , Pick ‘n Save. I love that I can always find exactly what I need when I shop at Pick ‘n Save….even if it’s just 6 ingredients!
For this recipe I used Roundy’s eggs , milk , and cheese…because I love the fact that they’re all made right here in Wisconsin. And , of course , I had to throw in a few of my favorite Simple Truth products , as well.
I know I’m not the only one who wants things to be EASY…and shopping at Pick ‘n Save always makes my feel easier.
WHAT IS A POPOVER?
A popover is a light , hollow roll made from an egg batter similar to that of Yorkshire pudding. Popovers are made either in muffin pans or popover pans , which are similar to muffin pans but are taller and have steep-sided wells. This forces the batter upwards and results in a popover with a puffy dome and crispy sides.
CAN YOU MAKE POPOVERS IN A MUFFIN PAN?
Yes. If you don’t own a popover pan , you can absolutely use a muffin pan. Popovers made in a muffin pan will not be as tall as those made in a popover pan.
WHAT CAUSES POPOVERS TO FALL?
There are a number of reasons popovers might fall after being removed from the oven:
- Underbaking them. Be sure you bake your popovers for the time indicated on the recipe. Popovers should be well-browned and firm to the touch.
- Opening the oven door. Be sure to leave the oven door shut during the first 20 minutes of baking. Opening the door can let in cool air , which can cause popovers to collapse.
- Using small eggs instead of large eggs to make the batter can cause popovers to fall.
