Cheesy Popover Ring

Directions

Bring water, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil in a saucepan.

Add flour quickly, all at once, beating with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball that leaves sides of pan.

Remove from heat.

Add eggs to flour mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture will separate as each egg is added to it).

Set aside 2 tablespoons diced Cheddar cheese; stir remaining cheese into flour mixture.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 11) onto a greased baking sheet to form an 8 inch ring, leaving a 2½ to 3-inch diameter hole in center.

Sprinkle reserved cheese over top.

Bake at 425 degrees F for 50 to 55 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.

Serve hot.
