• 1

  Heat oven to 400°F. In 8-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to bowl using slotted spoon. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings for greasing muffin cups.

• 2

  Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat eggs with whisk. Beat in milk. Beat in flour and salt until smooth. Stir in thyme.

• 3

  Generously grease 12 regular-size muffin cups with reserved bacon drippings. Place muffin pan in oven 5 minutes. Carefully remove pan from oven. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle bacon evenly over batter in muffin cups.

• 4

  Bake 27 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Prick top of each popover once with sharp paring knife to prevent deflation. Sprinkle cheese evenly over popovers. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Expert Tips
