How to use bash $variable inside cat < Test.html

I am faceing an issue when I want to use variable inside cat <<EOF > Test.html , for example

cat <<EOF > Test.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
*/:root{--blue:#007
etc ..
Then
<!-- Heading -->
<span> $Test
</span>
</div>
etc ..
EOF 

The $Test is not active I mean Bash considered it as a string not variable ( please find attached file )

variable $Test in brown color
