Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Brush the cups of a standard 12 cup muffin tin or popover tin with some of the melted butter.

Divide the Parmesan evenly among the cups.

Combine the eggs, salt, pepper, milk, cream and the remaining butter in a blender and blend until well combined.

Add the flour and blend for 15 seconds, until smooth.

Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the fresh herbs.

Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.

Divide the cheddar among the cups, and then top with the remaining batter.

Bake the popovers for 15 minutes.

Then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and unmold the popovers onto a wire rack.

Pierce the side of each popover with a small sharp knife to allow steam to escape. (This will help keep them from deflating.)

Serve immediately.

*DO NOT open the oven until the popovers are finished. Leave them in until the last moment to be sure the inside is cooked.*
