Instructions:
-
Prepare Popovers:
- In a mixing bowl, lightly beat 3 eggs.
- Add milk, melted butter, flour, and salt to the eggs.
- Mix the ingredients until smooth.
- Fill popover or muffin pans with the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes.
- Then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
-
Prepare Creamy Egg Mixture:
- While the popovers are baking, bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
- Place a metal bowl over the boiling water, reducing the heat to low.
- In a blender, combine 8 eggs, heavy cream, salt, and chives, and blend until smooth.
- Cook the egg mixture in the metal bowl over simmering water for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and creamy.
-
Assemble:
- Once the popovers are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Carefully remove the tops from the popovers.
- Fill each popover with a generous amount of creamy egg mixture.
- Top each filled popover with a slice of smoked salmon.
-
Serve:
- Arrange the smoked salmon-topped popovers on serving plates.
- Optionally, serve three popovers per plate, allowing the extra creamy eggs to drip onto the plate for an indulgent presentation.
Tips:
- Ensure the popover batter is well mixed and free of lumps for light and airy popovers.
- Be cautious not to overfill the popover pans to prevent overflow during baking.
- Adjust the baking time as needed to achieve the desired level of browning on the popovers.
- Fresh chives add a burst of flavor to the creamy egg mixture, but you can substitute with other herbs if preferred.
