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 350�F 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 350�F 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.
