• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 2 egg whites
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Place the oven rack on the next-to-lowest shelf of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450*. Coat 6 popover cups, deep muffin cups, or custard cups with nonstick spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, stir together the milk, unbleached or all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oil, basil, and salt. Vigorously whisk in the egg and egg whites.

3. 3

   Spoon the batter into the prepared cups. Sprinkle with Parmesan evenly over the batter in the cups. Bake for 15 minutes.

   Reduce the oven temperature to 350*. Do not open the oven door. Bake for 15-20 minutes longer, or until deep golden brown and puffed up.

5. 5

   Remove the popovers from the oven and cool in the cups on a rack for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the cups and serve.
