The parmesan here is the catalyst that makes the cheesy flavors jump out of the airy centers. These popovers are best when baked at the last minute, but you can make the batter ahead.

Cooks' note:

Batter can be made 1 day ahead and chilled.

Recipe information

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped chives
Equipment: a 24-cup mini-muffin pan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk together milk, eggs, flour, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and pepper until smooth, then stir in cheeses and chives. Chill 1 hour to allow batter to rest.
