Step 1 of 20

Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly spray popover, muffin or cupcake pan with nonstick spray.

Step 2 of 20

I like to use mini cupcake pans sometimes too. Most of the time, I use both so you have a variety of sizes.

Step 3 of 20

Grate the cheddar cheese so you have 1-1/2 cups of cheese. If you used the reduced fat cheese, these will be healthier. But you can also use regular cheese as well.

Step 4 of 20

Chop the scallions (about 4) until you have 1/2 cup. Make sure they are finely chopped.

Step 5 of 20

In a mixing bowl (or blender) put the 1-1/2 cup milk. Fo the healthier version, use low fat or non fat milk. But you can use regular milk too.

Step 6 of 20

Then 1-1/2 cup all purpose flour.

Step 7 of 20

Drop in the 3 eggs.

Step 8 of 20

Next, 1 teaspoon salt and...

Step 9 of 20

1/4 teaspoon cayenne.

Step 10 of 20

Mix until smooth. If using a blender, blend until smooth. The batter will be liquidy.

Step 11 of 20

When batter is smooth, add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese (the rest we're saving for the topping).

Step 12 of 20

Then add the chopped scallions to the batter. (Sorry for the out of focus photo!)

Step 13 of 20

Mix well.

Step 14 of 20

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into each of the the prepared muffin, cupcake or popover cups.

Step 15 of 20

Almost ready!

Step 16 of 20

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese onto each of the popovers.

Step 17 of 20

Now they're ready to go into the oven!

Step 18 of 20

Bake the popovers 15 minutes in the 450°F oven. Then reduce the oven heat to 375°F and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes longer.

Step 19 of 20

Done! It's best to serve the popovers hot or warm. So when I am taking them to a party, I throw them in the host's oven for a couple of minutes to warm them up.

Step 20 of 20

When you put these out, you'll see why they're called popovers. Not only do they pop up while cooking but people also pop them in their mouths. Alot. They're so delicious, quick & easy to make! Enjoy!

You're Done!
