Internet






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup water
  
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into bits
  
• 1/2 cup flour
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1/4 pound Stilton or other blue cheese such as Cabrales, crumbled (about 1 cup)
  
• 4 bacon slices, cooked crisp and finely crumbled
  
• 3 Tbsp minced green onion
  
• Salt and pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a small heavy saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to moderate and add flour all at once, beating mixture with wooden spoon until it pulls away from sides of pan and forms a ball.
   
   
2. Remove pan from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in cheese, bacon, green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
   
   
3. Using pastry bag with plain tip, or with a wet teaspoon, drop rounded teaspoon-size mounds of mixture 2 inches apart onto lightly buttered or parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake on middle oven rack at 425 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, or until puffs are crisp and golden.
   
   Makes about 24 puffs.
