Bacon Gruyere Popovers

Bacon Gruyere Popovers

With crispy bacon, creamy gruyere and thinly sliced scallions we create an incredibly delicious popover

Ingredients:

• 4 strips center cut bacon, diced small

• reserved bacon fat

• 3 large eggs, brought to room temperature

• 1½ cups whole milk, brought to room temperature

• 1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon fine salt

• 3 ounces shredded gruyere cheese, at room temperature

• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

• avocado oil spray

Directions:

• Allow time to bring eggs and milk to room temperature.

• Add bacon to a small skillet, stir and cook over medium to medium-low heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon pieces to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat.

• Position oven rack in the middle to lower third of your oven. Place popover pan onto a rimmed baking sheet and slide onto rack and preheat oven (and pan) to 450℉

• Meanwhile, add eggs and milk to a mixing bowl (preferably with spout). Briskly whisk for 1 minute or until frothy. Add in flour and salt, whisk to combine. Lastly add cooked bacon, gruyere cheese and scallions. Stir until incorporate - don't over mix

• Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Once time is up, reduce the oven temp to 350℉ and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or up to 20 minutes more (depending on oven) or until risen and a deep golden brown.

• Once baked, carefully remove each popover to a wire rack. Use a knife to make a small slit in the lower bottom side to release steam. Serve immediately.
