Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter all over 12 muffin cups; set aside. Just before oven is preheated, place milk, eggs and remaining tbsp (15 mL) butter in blender. Whirl until frothy, about 1 min. Add flour, chives and salt; whirl until well mixed. For popovers to reach maximum height, place empty buttered muffin pan in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 3 min just before filling (don’t worry if you see a few brown bits).
Pulse mixture in blender once or twice. Remove muffin pan from oven. Immediately pour batter into hot muffin cups, filling each cup a bit more than half full. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 min until very puffed. Serve immediately.
Tips
Don’t peek in the oven – let the popovers work their magic
Switch up the cheese – try Canadian Parmesan, Swiss or Provolone.
