Giada's Parmesan Pop-overs Recipe

I love, love, love Giada de Laurentis. I'm a HUGE fan. Anyway, today on her lovely show "Everyday Italian" (I also immensely LOVE all things Italian), she had this cute little recipe for "Parmesan Popovers." Looks easy enough to make (and I intend to try this one out).

So, first you put this stuff into a blender:

3 eggs
3/4 cups of flour
some Herbs de Provence (fancy)
some fresh parsley (mmm love fresh herbs)
pinch of salt
some black pepper
(Giada didn't tell me how much of the last 4 items she was adding, so you just kinda have to eyeball it)
1 cup of yummy milk
1/2 to a whole cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese (she didn't specify how much)

Then you blend it up. Theeeen...you pour the batter into greased muffin tins. You pour them 3/4 of the way up so that the 'pop-overs' can expand and pop over the sides of the tins. Yum.

You 'pop' these into the oven at 400 degrees for 20 min. Giada warns not to be tempted to open the oven prematurely because this prevents the popovers from puffing up as much as they should. When they are golden brown (Giada's favorite food color), pull them out and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

These looked really yummy, cute, and easy to make. Not only that but she was sweet enough to include these into a surprise picnic basket she took to her husband as a surprise lunch. How thoughtful. She even packed everything into cute little containers. I love that attention to detail!

Anyway, there's the recipe. I know I'm gonna try it and I highly look forward to it.

A lover of yummy food,

PS. Giada is on Ellen today. YES! (Wow, I'm such a nerdle)
