Source of Recipe

Vegetarian Fast and Fancy


List of Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 pinch salt
8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese


Recipe

In a saucepan, bring milk and butter to a boil. Add the flour, all at once, and cook, stirring, until dough forms a ball and leaves the side of the pan, about 2 minutes. Place dough in the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in parmesan, chives, parsley and salt until blended. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto a greased non-stick baking sheet and bake at 350ºF until puffed and golden brown. Time will depend on size of the puffs. Can be held at this point.

Before serving, place puffs on a cookie sheet and split in half. Place a little of the mozzarella cheese in the center and reset the tops. Heat in a 350ºF oven until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve warm with Marinara Sauce, on the side, for dipping.



Marinara Sauce:
1 can (1 lb. 12 ounces) crushed tomatoes in tomato puree
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon instant onion flakes
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
small pinch of cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients and simmer sauce for 10 minutes.
