PROS

Roquefort cheese adds a unique flavor that is complemented by the crunchy texture of the popovers.

Easy to prepare and can last for days in the fridge, they make a great snack on the go.

The dish may not be suitable for lactose intolerant or dairy-allergic individuals due to its dairy content.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Popovers are more of a comfort food than a health food. However, the Roquefort in this recipe adds nutritional value by providing some protein and calcium. Though cheese is also high in saturated fats, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
