Cheddar Cheese Puffs

This is such an easy recipe to make, and you can use almost any cheese that you like for flavor.  We use extra sharp cheddar cheese in ours or a mixture of sharp cheddar and pepper jack. These tasty snacks disappear quick at our house.

 Ingredients

1 c. water
2 Tbs. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8  tsp. or more cayenne pepper
1 c. flour
4 eggs
1 1/4 c. sharp shredded cheese, or pepper jack, blue cheese
1 Tbs. mustard
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°.  Lightly spray or grease a baking sheet.

In a large saucepan, add water, butter, salt and cayenne pepper. Turn the heat to medium high and bring the contents to a boil.

Turn the heat to medium and add the flour in all at once.  Stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

Add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat until the mixture is smooth and shiny.

Stir in the cheese and the mustard.

Drop by 1 inch balls onto a prepared baking sheet.  Space the balls about 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.  Serve and enjoy!
