Cheesy Scrambled Egg Stuffed Popovers

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

I'm so excited to be participating in #BrunchWeek 2019 hosted by Love and Confections and A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures! This is the 7th year of #BrunchWeek and we have 35 bloggers from around the country sharing over 140 of their best Brunch recipes. We have so many delicious recipes for you to enjoy throughout the week including cocktails, appetizers, casseroles, cinnamon rolls, breakfast pizzas, coffee cakes, plenty of desserts, and more!

When choosing my dishes for this week, I tried to think about typical things we love to eat when we have brunch. Eggs was the first thing that came to mind.  I've only recently started eating eggs in their true form (ie not in cake), and one of my favorite ways to have them is scrambled with cheese.   Cabot sent us an absolutely amazing variety of cheese, which my guys descended on and practically growled when I told them no touching until my recipes were done.

I've eaten my eggs with English muffins or toast, but was thinking about a more upscale way to present them.   Putting away dishes one day, I saw my popover pan sitting in the cabinet, and that seemed like a perfect combination.   Popovers are one of those things like look like you put a lot of work into them, but are really simple.   If you don't have a popover pan, you can also use a muffin pan.

I highly recommend mixing the popover ingredients in a large measuring cup.  It makes it so much easier to pour the butter into the hot popover pan.   Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temp.  The batter does not hold well,it will deflate, so be prepared to bake them right away.

Everyone has their own way of doing scrambled eggs.  I like to add a tiny bit of water and salt and whisk them til well beaten.  I use a nonstick skillet, but add a little butter to it.  Some people like their eggs just set, I like mine completely cooked through.    On this particular day, I added a generous amount of Cabot Fiery Jack Cheese.  My husband is a big fan of the Bacon Cheddar. 

After the eggs are cooked, admire your popovers for a brief moment, and then cut them in half.  Fill up that beautiful hollow with your cheesy scrambled eggs and enjoy.   Popovers are best served warm and the same day, but you can make them ahead, freeze them and then reheat them for about 8 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.

Cabot and our other BrunchWeek Sponsors are helping us give away some great prizes! Thank you so much to all of our sponsors for their generosity. We have an incredible giveaway below and we’d love if you would take a moment to read about it and what you can win!   Be sure to go and check out all of the other fantastic dishes being shared today and all week long by following the #BrunchWeek and clicking the links below.

How to cook Cheesy Scrambled Egg Stuffed Popovers

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place popover pan into oven. In a large mixing cup, whisk together eggs and milk. Whisk in butter. Combine flour and salt, and then whisk into the egg mixture until smooth, about 2 minutes. Brush cups and rim of popover pan with melted butter. Pour batter into cups about 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 15 minutes more or until golden brown.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium high. Crack 6 eggs into a large bowl, add water and salt. Whisk briskly until well beaten and frothy. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and tilt pan to coat it well. Pour in eggs. As the mixture sets, move it around with a spatula. Cook until there is no remaining liquid, breaking it into large curds. Add cheese, and stir to combine. Add in any veggies or cooked meats desired.
3. Split popovers in half, and fill up the cavity with the scrambled eggs. Top with additional cheese if desired.
4. *The popovers are best warm, immediately from the oven. You can also make them ahead and freeze them in airtight containers. Reheat in a preheated 350 degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes.
