CHEESE PUFFS

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 40 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
1/4-pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere, plus extra for sprinkling
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over medium heat, until scalded. Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
  • Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside.

GOUGERES (FRENCH CHEESE PUFFS)



Gougeres (French Cheese Puffs) image

Best served warm, these party-ready savory gougeres, or French cheese puffs, are baked golden and packed with Gruyere cheese.

Provided by Connie Salisbury Risner

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch chili powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
¾ cup grated Gruyere cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat water, butter, salt, and chili powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.
  • Dump in flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides into a smooth ball. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes, to cool it down a bit. At this point, you can scrape the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. If you don't have a mixer, let it cool in the pan, stirring it a few times to let the heat escape.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to make sure the eggs don't cook. The batter will first appear lumpy, but after 1 minute or so, it will smooth out. After the eggs have been added, let cool until tepid.
  • When the dough has cooled, stir in a generous 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese until well mixed. (If dough is not cool, the cheese will melt.)
  • Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a wide, plain tip. Pipe into mounds, evenly spaced apart, making each about the size of a small cherry tomato. Top each puff with a bit of the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake until completely golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

CHEESE PUFFS (GOUGERES)



Cheese Puffs (Gougeres) image

Light, airy, cheese puffs are a versatile addition to a meal or appetizer plate. Tiny, they're like soup nuts. Larger, they pair well with beer or wine. Even bigger, they can be split and filled with ham, chicken, tuna salad, or even more cheese! These are easier to make than the recipe sounds, yet the result looks impressive enough that you can tell your friends you slaved over them.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Canapes and Crostini Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup whole milk
1 stick butter (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
6 large eggs (at room temperature)
½ cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
¾ cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 ounce pepperoni, diced
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine the flour with the salt, black pepper, thyme, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
  • Put the milk and butter in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. When the butter melts, turn heat to low. Add the seasoned flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball. Remove from heat.
  • Separate the white and yolk from one egg, reserving the yolk for glazing.
  • Put the dough into a large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed for one minute. Then beat in one egg and the extra egg white. Beat until completely absorbed into the dough. Then add the remaining 4 eggs, one at a time, waiting each time until the previous egg is completely absorbed. After all 5 eggs (plus the one egg white) have been incorporated, the dough should be smooth and satiny.
  • Add the Parmesan and Gruyere cheeses, and pepperoni if you are using it. Incorporate thoroughly into the dough.
  • Use a pastry bag to pipe dough onto 2 ungreased baking sheets. You can also drop dough from a teaspoon. For tiny puffs, mounds should be about 1/2 inch in diameter. From small appetizers, mounds should be 1 inch in diameter. For puffs large enough for filling, mounds should be 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Keep the size of the puffs uniform so they bake properly. Space puffs about 1 inch apart.
  • Beat the remaining egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze. Lightly brush the tops of the puffs with glaze before baking. Sprinkle tops with your Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes (5 minutes for tiny puffs). Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake 10 minutes more for tiny puffs; 15 to 20 minutes longer for medium or large puffs, or until puffs are golden brown. Test by removing a puff from the oven and breaking it open. The inside should be baked through. If it is still doughy or wet, bake another 5 minutes.
  • Remove pans from oven and leave puffs on pans until cool enough to serve.

CHILI CHEESE PUFFS



Chili Cheese Puffs image

Very nice as a quick snack or to serve with soup. They are mild spicy and you can spice them up by adding some ground cayenne or chilipepper. The original recipe uses fresh chillies but the canned ones make these puffs more moist. If you want to make them with fresh, use 2 green chillies, seeds removed and finely chopped.

Provided by PetsRus

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 15-20 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt (to taste)
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (drained)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (1/4 cup less if you fresh chilies)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup Rice Krispies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix together in a bowl: egg, milk, salt (if using) cheese and the drained chillies.
  • Sift the flour together with the baking powder over the bowl and mix well.
  • Now add the rice krispies, and mix again.
  • Place rounded teaspoons on greased but better still, lined with parchment paper, baking trays and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality chili cheese dip. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your puffs.
  • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. This will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open while cooking.
  • Use a toothpick or fork to seal the wonton wrappers. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Fry the puffs until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious crispy texture.
  • Serve the puffs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Chili cheese puffs are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover chili cheese dip. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious treats that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack, give chili cheese puffs a try!
