Sausage, Potato & Asparagus Popovers

by doughmesstic on April 26, 2012

in breakfast, popovers

I made it nearly 4 entire months without a savory popover.  Up until today, it’s been chocolate, cream cheese, berries and marshmallows.  But finally, I caved.

Savory Popovers.

I filled these goodies with diced potatoes, bits of asparagus, breakfast sausage, and a nice handful of cheese.  Think omelet, except breadier.

Think delicious.

Delicious enough, in fact, that I am entering it into the Wake Up With Johnsonville Contest.  Who knows? Maybe I’ll win something!  What do you think…is it worthy?

Oh my gosh .. how could you not win with these!?! I’ve been thinking about these all day. I can’t wait to try. You keep amazing me with your popover flavors. You need to publish a Popover Cookbook – I’d be the first to buy it!

Your popovers just keep getting better. I’m always interested in what you’ll make next! This one sounds fabulous! Frankly, I love potatoes at breakfast. Who am I kidding, I could eat them for dessert!
