Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round tip, or use two teaspoons to drop small dollops of dough (about 1 inch wide) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the Parmesan Puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
