    Method

    1. 1

      Put a six-cup metal muffin tin in the oven and heat it to 425°F (220°C). Whisk the eggs and milk until foamy.

    2. 2

      Whisk in the flour and salt until only tiny lumps remain, then fold in the grated cheese. Let the batter rest 10 minutes and whisk in the pepper.

    3. 3

      Pull the hot tin out and brush the cups with the melted butter. Divide the batter between them, filling each about halfway.

    4. 4

      Bake 18 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350°F (175°C) without opening the door and bake 10 minutes more, until tall and deep golden. Pierce each popover once to let the steam out.
