We Got That Sweet Savory Thing

Breakfast, Sunday February 19: fruit and cheese plate with popovers. 

Popovers have fallen out of vogue. Undoubtedly it is the amount of egg in the recipe that has turned the public against them, but this view is misplaced. Let's do the math. The recipe that I use calls for 4 eggs and makes a dozen popovers. So that is 4 eggs divided between 12 pastries or 4 / 12 = 1/3. Two popovers have the equivalent of two-thirds of an egg. Oh, wow, that's so unhealthy. In addition, I only use 2 eggs and an equivalent amount of egg substitute, so this recipe is just 1/3 egg in each.
