Popovers Laden with Thyme, Asiago and Parmigiano

Popovers anyone? I'm convinced this is the quickest and easiest way to get bread on the table in a pinch. They are light, airy and moist, similar to the consistency of a souffle. I like combining the flavors of dried thyme with a mixture of Parmigiano-Reggiano and Asiago, but you could experiment with any herb/cheese combination and the recipe will work. They make the perfect accompaniment to any meal!
Note: You can make these ahead and serve at room temperature but they are at their best when served fresh from the oven, smeared with a pat of softened butter.
