Blue Cheese Popover Muffins

Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously spray a regular size muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk slightly. Add flour and salt and briskly stir to incorporate. Do not overbeat. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

Pour batter into 10 muffin cups, dividing batter evenly. Add blue cheese to individual muffin cups, dividing cheese evenly. With the back of a spoon, lightly dunk the cheese under the batter. Sprinkle top of batter generously with freshly ground black pepper.

Bake 15 minutes. No peeking! Keep that oven door shut and the heat inside! Decrease oven temperature to 350°F and bake 12 to 15 minutes longer, until deep golden brown. Immediately remove popover muffins from cups. If they stick a bit, just use a knife to circle around the edges of the individual cups.

These are best when eaten fresh and hot, with butter.
