Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 milliliters Water
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Reduce the heat to low, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough becomes smooth and glossy.
Grate the cheddar cheese and fold it into the dough mixture.
Using a piping bag or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and crisp. Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the puffs cool, prepare the toffee sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and heavy cream, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the toffee mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until it thickens and turns a rich amber color.
Drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the cheese puffs and serve immediately. Enjoy the irresistible combination of sweet and savory flavors!
