Ingredients for Bacon Popovers

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 3 teaspoons butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Bacon Drippings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

How to Make Bacon Popovers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Drain bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
  4. Grease six cups of a popover or muffin tin with 1/2 teaspoon of butter per cup.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings (or vegetable oil).
  6. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and the crumbled cooked bacon. Beat vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer until the batter is smooth and slightly frothy.
  7. Fill each prepared cup about halfway full.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the popovers are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately prick each popover with a fork to release steam.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
