Pizza Popovers

By Tasty55 min🍽 6 servings

These cheesy, savory popovers are like mini pizzas that you can hold in your hand. With a crispy, golden-brown crust and gooey melted cheese, they're a fun and delicious twist on traditional pizza.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, milk, and tomato paste. Blend until smooth. Add the oregano, garlic powder, salt, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and flour and blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until completely smooth. Transfer the batter to a liquid measuring cup with a pour spout and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, place the popover pan in the oven to preheat.

  4. 4

    After resting, fold ¼ cup (30 g) Parmesan and ¼ cup (35 g) chopped pepperoni into the popover batter.

  5. 5

    Remove the popover pan from the oven and brush ¼ teaspoon melted butter in each cup, then fill ¾ of the way full with batter. Sprinkle with the remaining pepperoni and remaining 1½ tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake the popovers for 25-30 minutes, or until they appear puffed and dry (do not open the oven door to check).

  7. 7

    Garnish the popovers with basil and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce alongside.

  8. 8

    Enjoy!
