Popovers with Goat's Cheese and Chili

I've never made popovers before, so I had no idea what these were going to be like- but the picture in the cookbook sure was nice!

Well, when I mixed the batter together and saw a runny, drippy mess, I double checked to see if I had gotten all the ingredients right. Yup- twice as much milk as flour. Ok... Wasn't so sure about it, but...

What started as this:

Turned into this:

They are kind of hollow, but the goat's cheese kind of sits in that little hole. And the chili adds a nice kick, but they are not really spicy. I put way more cheese in the second batch (just to use it all up- before picture above is the second batch) than I did in the first batch, so we'll see how much of a difference that makes. And, I lowered the rack in the oven, because it seems the upper heating element in our oven must be stronger than the lower one. These are just a touch too brown for my liking (the after picture above is the first batch). But, did I mention, they taste lovely! I guess they remind me a little bit of a savoury souffle- maybe that is what they are supposed to be like? I don't know, but thanks J&J&L for the cookbook- I'm sure these will be a hit at the party tonight! :)
