herb garlic butter popovers________________________________Simplest dinner bread infused with a garlicky herb butter. Fun to watch puffing up in the oven and even more fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups milk (whole or oat are best in my experience)
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Place popover or muffin tin in the oven. Preheat to 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt butter along with parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic. Heat for about 5 minutes until herbs crisp and butter browns. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, vigorously whip eggs and milk untilvery frothy, about 2-3 minutes. I find this doable with a hand whisk! Stir in flour, salt, and herb butter until combined. Some small clumps are okay.
- Remove tin from the oven and rub/spray generously with oil or butter. Fill each cavity about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and puffed. Do not open the oven at any point during the baking process or the popovers will collapse!
- Serve warm with plenty of butter and fresh parsley, as desired.
