Why: While surfing the food portion of apartmenttheropy.com there was a post on popovers and they looked too tasty and seemed super easy.
What: Popovers with gruyere cheese. This was the first time I've ever had/bought gruyere cheese and man does it pack a punch. It's smoked so it almost smells like bacon. I got the cheese sliced at the deli counter (silly!) so I couldn't shred it like I wanted so I did itty bitty cubes. They looked perfect and we were super excited until I lifted the pan and they were bricks. Definitely not the light and fluffy popover I was expecting. I made the again a few days later and not only were they still flour-based bricks but they didn't rise! I'm not giving up but we've taken a break to give my ego a rest.
