Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Generously grease a 6-cup muffin or popover pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and mini pepperoni slices until well incorporated.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until the popovers are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the popovers to cool slightly for 3-5 minutes before gently removing them from the pan.
Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy, savory delights!
