Using Popovers as Shell for Savory Filling like Lobster Newburg

[Red Owl]

What does Lobster Newburg have to do with pastry and baking?  I think the original recipe called for a pop over.   Well I tried my first ever pop over, came out okay but on a couple, there wasn't any bottom at all, sort of a hollow void.  I figure I can trim off the top and put the top down inside to plug up the hole and then fill with the Newburg.  Any one make pop overs to serve as a shell for a savory filling, Lobster Newburg or Creamed chicken, etc.?

@Red Owl ... Your old post came up for me while reading a current message. Maybe this will be helpful.

 

Perhaps you can make a Dutch Baby as a shell for your fillings.  The recipe is very similar to that of popovers, and for your purpose they might be a better choice.  I make 'em in a small (five or six inch) cast iron skillet which fits easily into my Breville countertop oven.  Actually, two of the small skillets will fit into the oven.
