Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Maple-Mustard Glazed Canadian Bacon:
1/4 cup grade B pure maple syrup
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 slices thick-cut Canadian bacon
Vermont Cheddar and Herb Scramble:
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs
3 ounces grated aged white Vermont Cheddar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Popovers:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing pans
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the canadian bacon: Whisk the maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl. Set aside. Heat the canola oil in a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush generously with the maple syrup mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes, and then transfer to a platter.
  • For the cheddar and herb scramble: Heat the canola oil over high heat in another cast-iron skillet. Add the cherry tomatoes cut-side down and cook until seared, 1 to 2 minutes. Season them with salt and pepper, and transfer to a plate.
  • Whisk together the eggs, Cheddar, chives, parsley and tarragon in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat until it begins to sizzle. Add the egg mixture and slowly cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until soft curds form. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the popovers: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously brush a 6-slot aluminum popover pan with softened butter. Place the pan in the oven to heat 5 minutes before you are ready to add the batter.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, flour, milk, salt, pepper and eggs until smooth. The batter should be thin. Fill the popover pans less than halfway full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not open the oven door while popovers are baking. Make the popovers last because they need to be eaten almost immediately once removed from the oven.
  • For assembly: Open the popovers and fill each half with a slice of the bacon. Top each with the eggs, and a cherry tomato half. Serve the remaining tomatoes on the side.

MAPLE-BACON POPOVERS

As a Canadian living in the United States, I can't help but envy my American friends around Thanksgiving. More than any other holiday, this one comes with loads of (nondenominational, bipartisan) family traditions, mostly centered around the kitchen. Sure, Canada has its own Thanksgiving, modeled after its U.S. counterpart, but it's not nearly as obsessively food-focused nor as widely celebrated. Over the two decades I've lived in New York, my husband and I have observed American Thanksgiving by joining friends at their family tables, making our own "Friendsgiving," or using the long weekend to travel. But now that I have two (American) children, I feel the need to establish our own traditions. These popovers seem like a good place to start. Popovers are America's answer to British Yorkshire pudding. Festive and comforting, they're made by adding hot fat to the bottom of individual tins before pouring in a rich, eggy batter, which causes them to puff up and "pop" over the sides of the pan. I had never had a popover until I moved to the States but quickly fell in love with them, especially when I realized how easy they are to make and how satisfying when eaten right out of the oven. My version includes maple syrup and bacon in the batter, giving the adapted American dish a distinctly Canadian accent, just like me. With a little luck, they'll remain part of our family's Thanksgiving meal-and become part of yours-for years to come.-Gail Simmons

Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow drippings to cool slightly in skillet, about 5 minutes; pour into a small heatproof bowl. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter to drippings; stir to combine. Spoon 1 teaspoon drippings mixture into each cup of a 12-cup popover pan or large muffin pan. (Discard any remaining drippings mixture.) Place pan in oven to heat. Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, maple syrup, eggs, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large bowl. Gradually whisk flour mixture into egg mixture until almost smooth; fold in cooked bacon. Transfer batter to a 4-cup spouted measuring cup. Carefully remove hot pan from oven. Pour batter into popover cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake in preheated oven until popovers are puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Lightly brush tops with additional maple syrup. Remove from pan, and serve immediately.
