1 cup water
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 eggs
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese (about 3 ounces) or 3/4 cup pizza cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F
Heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour, salt and garlic powder. Stir vigorously over low heat 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs until smooth. Stir in cheese and onion. Drop dough by scant teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Tip-Top Puffs: Place pimiento-stuffed olive or 1/2 inch-square cheese slice on each puff. Bake as directed.
Filled Puffs: Place salted peanut, 1/2 inch ham or bologna cube or half of pimiento-stuffed olive on each puff. Top with enough dough to cover. Bake as directed.
