How to Make Popover Egg Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Generously grease 6 muffin cups with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into each muffin cup.
  4. Divide 1 cup thinly sliced mini potatoes, 1/2 cup frozen peas, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly among the muffin cups. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the filling. The cups will be very full.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is puffed and set (the pan should jiggle slightly when ready).
  6. Let the egg pies stand in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each pie to loosen. Carefully scoop them out using a spoon.
