Cheese and Bacon Puffs

List of Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) Creamery Butter
2 Tablespoons finely chopped green onion
1 cup water
1 cup flour
1/8-teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a 2-quart saucepan, sauté green onions in about 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add remaining butter, water and cayenne pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in all the flour at one time, using a wooden spoon. Beat vigorously. Return to heat and cook over low heat until the mixture forms a thick ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat. Add eggs one at a time, stirring mixture until the egg is completely absorbed before adding the next. Stir in cheddar cheese and bacon. Using two teaspoons (piping mixture through a pastry bag is another option), form teaspoon-sized mounds of pastry about 1¼ inch apart on a lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire racks. (Baked puffs can be thoroughly cooled, wrapped airtight and frozen; reheat about 5 minutes in a 400°F oven.)
Yield: 5 dozen
