5. Combine the milk mixture with the dry ingredients and whisk well blended, about 30 seconds.

6. Pour the batter, by the ¼ cup full, into the muffin cups.

7. Scoop 1 teaspoon of the crumbled cheese into the center of each filled cup.

8. Bake for 10 minutes. Resist the urge to open the oven door as this may cause the popovers to fall.

10. Remove from the oven and pierce with a knife to release the steam.
