3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ cups warm milk (I used 2%)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup white whole wheat flour
⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese, divided use (can use cheddar)
3 tablespoons chopped, fresh herbs (like dill, basil, oregano and thyme) plus extra for garnish

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light yellow and frothy.
Add the milk and salt and whisk again until combined.
Add the flour all at once. Whisk just until a thin batter forms- do not over mix. The batter may have small lumps- this is normal. Gently whisk in ⅓ cup parmesan cheese and herbs until just combined.
Let the batter rest for 20 minutes while the oven heats up.
Heat a standard 12-cup muffin pan in the oven for a few minutes until hot. Remove the pan and spray generously with cooking spray. This will help prevent the popovers from sticking to the pan. Pour the batter into the wells- they should be about ¾ full. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon parmesan on top of each one and garnish with fresh herbs.
Place the pan in the middle or lower third of the oven. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes until the popovers are puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven door while they bake. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake another 12-15 minutes until done.
Remove the popovers from the oven and cut slits in the tops with a sharp knife to prevent them from collapsing. Serve immediately.
