Ingredients

2

cups milk
4

eggs
4

tablespoons butter, melted
10

ounces all purpose flour
1/2

teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2

teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4

cup Parmesan cheese
2

tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1

teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest

Directions

Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly coat a 12-cup popover pan or muffin tin with melted butter or oil.
Whisk together the milk, eggs and butter in a large bowl until blended. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Place the empty pan in the oven to heat for 7 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and fill the cups evenly with the batter (this is less messy if you transfer batter to a 4 cup liquid measuring cup).
Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking until the popovers are deep golden brown, 15 – 18 more minutes.
Cool briefly in the pan before removing and serving. You can reheat cooled popovers in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
