The sharp, lingering flavor of English Borough Market Cheddar makes it an exceptional addition to popovers. Serve them with soups or roasts (they're great for sopping up gravy!), or eat them for breakfast with a little apple butter. Popovers' lusciousness diminishes as they cool, so get them to the table as quickly as possible.

Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Oil 8 cups of a standard muffin tin, using a paper towel to make sure the bottom and sides are thoroughly coated. Place the tin in the oven to get very hot while you make the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter, salt and cayenne, whisking for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in flour.
Switch to a spoon and stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar. Stir in the chives.
Spoon the mixture into the hot muffin tin, filling each cup a little more than half full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar.
Bake for 15 minutes, then (without opening the oven door) reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until the popovers are puffed up and deeply browned, about 15 more minutes. (If you need to open the oven door to check the popovers, open it only an inch or two as a draft could cause them to deflate.)
Run a knife around the edges of the muffin cups to release the popovers and serve hot.
