Dill and Cheddar Cheese Puffs
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4-5 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated sharp cheddar
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine the water, butter and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the butter has melted.
- Add the flour and stir quickly and continuously for about 2 minutes, until the mixture comes together and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 3 minutes.
- Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth. After adding all 4 eggs, the batter should be just stiff enough to hold soft peaks. If it is too stiff, whisk an additional egg into a bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of it to the batter. Mix well to combine. Continue to add 1 additional teaspoon of egg until the batter has reached the right consistency.
- Stir in the grated cheese and chopped dill.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto your parchment lined baking sheet at least an inch apart.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffy, golden brown, and crispy on the surface.
