Categories     Cheese     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Water
8 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Unbleached flour
4 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Mashed green chilis (combination of Anaheim and jalapenos to suit your heat preference)
1 Cup Swiss Cheese -- Grated
1/2 Cup Swiss Cheese -- Grated on the finer side of a box grater

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 Degrees and put two oven racks in the upper third of the oven. Place milk, water, salt and butter in a sauce pan and bring to a full boil. Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir for a few seconds to incorporate and return the pan to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the dough draws together in into one mass. It will also begin to coat the bottom of the pan with a thin film as you stir. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool for a minute or two. Break the puffs and stir in one at a time, working vigorously with a wooden spoon. Incorporate each thoroughly before adding the next. Stir in the cheese and chilies. Drop the still warm dough onto the ungreased baking sheets leaving at least 1/2 inch between puffs and sprinkle with a bit of the grated cheese. Immediately turn the heat down to 375 degrees and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and let them dry for 5 more minutes. Fill these with what makes you happy or Cream Cheese and chili dip which is in the book
