Makes 8

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons finely snipped pepperoni
1 cup shredded provolone, mozzarella, or pizza-flavored cheese (4 ounces)

You will need eight 4-inch Yorkshire pudding pans, 4 1/4-inch pie pans, 4 1/2-inch quiche dishes, or 10-ounce custard cups. Spray pans or cups with the nonstick coating; set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl use a wire whisk or rotary beater to beat eggs, milk, and oil together till combined. Add flour, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Beat till well combined. Stir in pepperoni. Fill the prepared pans or cups half full with batter.

Bake in a 400 F oven about 20 minutes or till done. Sprinkle cheese on top of popovers. Then return the popovers to the oven about 5 minutes or till cheese is melted. Remove popovers from pans or cups and serve immediately.
