Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pans:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, place your muffin pans in the oven to preheat as well. This step ensures that the batter will start cooking immediately, giving your popovers that perfect rise.

2. Mix the Batter:
   In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, and milk. Beat the mixture at a low speed using an electric mixer until all the ingredients are well blended and smooth. The batter will be quite liquid, which is expected.

3. Prepare the Muffin Pans:
   Carefully remove the hot muffin pans from the oven. Quickly grease each cup thoroughly with a non-stick spray or a small amount of vegetable oil. This step is crucial to ensure the popovers release easily after baking.

4. Fill the Muffin Cups:
   Pour the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-fourths full. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the batter in each cup. The cheese will melt and create a deliciously crispy topping.

5. Bake the Popovers:
   Place the filled muffin pans back into the preheated oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, or until the popovers start to rise and turn a golden brown.

6. Reduce the Heat and Continue Baking:
   After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the popovers are firm to the touch and have a deep golden color.

7. Serve Immediately:
   Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes. Serve them warm for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven as a delightful accompaniment to your meal!
