ä  Famous Adair Popovers

Category: Breakfast

Submitted By: Adair Country Inn

Bethlehem, NH 

Web Site: www.adairinn.com
 

For 6 large popovers:

Melt 6 tbl butter. While the butter cools whisk together 6 eggs and a pinch of salt. Add butter and 2 cups of milk (any kind except skim) then add 2 cups flour. Here is where the controversy comes in... Some say prepare the night before you want the popovers and leave the batter lumpy. The phrase "the uglier, the better" has been heard aound here. The next morning whisk out the lumps, spray and fill 6-6 ounce custard cups and bake at 400 for 50 minutes. Others say make, beat out the lumps, cook and enjoy all the same day. You decide.

These popovers have been served at Adair since it's transformation into a country inn and I think the world would stop turning if Adair stopped serving popovers. Certainly our guests would be disappointed.

This is a very simple, yet very tasty and impressive recipe for breakfast or brunch. Since there are only a few ingredients, this recipe really benefits from using the highest quality ingredients you can find (free-range eggs, aged cheeses, herbs fresh from the garden, etc).

Ingredients:
8 slices ham
12 eggs
4 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 cup plain yogurt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar mixed with Asiago, Parmesan, or other similar cheese)
8 teaspoons fresh herbs (any combination of basil, thyme, chives, or parsley) Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Grease 8 au gratin dishes or spray with cooking spray.
Line each with a ham slice.
Layer herbs, then cheese into dishes on top of ham.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the mustard, yogurt, and nutmeg.
Pour or spoon the egg mixture into the dishes.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely set.
