Women’s Nutrition Week Recipes: Asparagus Popover

by Kristen King on April 15th, 2008

Today is Day 2 of Women’s Nutrition Week, and here’s a healthy recipe from Every Day With Rachael Ray!

Asparagus Popover

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • Pinch sugar
  • 3 oz. gruyere or Swiss cheese, shredded (1 cup loosely packed)

Directions

  1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, add enough salted water to reach a depth of 2 inches; bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut the spears crosswise into thirds.
  2. In a medium cast-iron skillet, add the butter. Place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, microwave the milk on high for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the eggs, then the flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and the sugar.
  4. Add the asparagus pieces to the hot cast-iron skillet and pour the batter on top. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and bake until puffed golden-brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese.
