Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (113g) water
3 tablespoons (43g) butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
2 large (100g) Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
3/4 cup (65g) Asiago cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Bring the water, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally. Turn heat to medium-low, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot and forms a smooth, pasty ball. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute after dough has smoothed out.
  • Transfer dough ball to the bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition, and scraping the bowl well. Batter will appear lumpy at first, but will smooth out after a minute or two. Add the grated cheese and chives and mix until combined.
  • Drop the dough by the tablespoonful on a baking sheet, at least 2" apart. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375F and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • For an all-american twist, substitute a sharp cheddar cheese for the asiago.
