Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the water over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and glossy.
Gently fold in the blue cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let the puffs cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
