Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a standard 6-cup popover pan (or muffin tin) in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Whisk gently to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then slowly add the milk while whisking continuously. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
Whisk in the melted butter just until incorporated.
Carefully remove the hot popover pan from the oven. Grease the cups generously with additional melted butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter evenly into the popover cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the popovers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes without opening the door, as this could cause them to collapse.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the popovers are deep golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately pierce each popover with a sharp knife to release steam and prevent sogginess.
Carefully cut a small slit in the side of each popover and insert a slice of Brie cheese. Allow the heat of the popovers to melt the cheese slightly.
Serve the popovers warm, ideally with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flair.
