HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS



Ham and Cheese Puffs image

My family used to make these for special occasions, or random visitors! Basically a gougere! They can be baked and frozen then just brought out and thrown in a toaster oven when needed! Sometimes I like a stronger mustard taste so I double the dry mustard. I'm guessing at the amount of servings as I don't think I've ever made a single batch of this recipe - haha.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

butter or margarine, for greasing
2 slices ham
2 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese or 2 tablespoons other good tasting cheese, plus
1/2 tablespoon grated cheddar cheese, for the topping
4 tablespoons plain yogurt (80 grams)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions or 1 tablespoon chives
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Grease two ovenproof dishes (one cup capacity) and line with the ham.
  • Beat together 2 tablespoons cheese, eggs and yogurt.
  • Mix in the green onions.
  • Divide evenly into the ham-lined dishes.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the rim, turn out, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the ham and cheese into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the puffs.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the puffs tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the puff pastry cups. If they're too full, they'll burst open in the oven.
  • Bake the puffs until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
