CHEESE PUFFS

4 oz butter

1 cup water

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup flour

4 eggs

4 oz cheese of choice, grated

2 tsp fresh herbs snipped up (thyme or rosemary usually)

Bring butter, water and salt to a boil together over high heat.  Reduce heat to medium.

Dump flour in all at once. Stir rapidly with a wooden spoon.  It will form into a dough ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Continue to cook for another couple of minutes.  Let cool for a few minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each one until the egg is completely absorbed by the dough. Mix in the cheese and herbs. Scoop spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet, about an inch apart.  Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for another 15-20 minutes, until puffed up and golden.  Yields about 2 dozen normally.
