Asparagus Popover


From the may 2008 issue of everyday with rachael ray. this is super easy and makes a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. she suggests that for a change, you may want to sprinkle cooked bacon into the batter.

Steps


Preheat oven to 425f.
In a medium saucepan , add 2 inched of salted water.
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.
In a medium cast-iron skillet , add the butter.
Place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.
In a medium bowl , microwave the milk on high for 30 seconds.
Whisk in the eggs , then the flour , salt , pepper , and sugar.
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 and golden-brown , 18 to 20 minutes.
Top with the remaining cheese.
