Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 6 puffs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 eggs
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese (about 3 ounces) or 3/4 cup pizza cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F
  • Heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour, salt and garlic powder. Stir vigorously over low heat 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs until smooth. Stir in cheese and onion. Drop dough by scant teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Tip-Top Puffs: Place pimiento-stuffed olive or 1/2 inch-square cheese slice on each puff. Bake as directed.
  • Filled Puffs: Place salted peanut, 1/2 inch ham or bologna cube or half of pimiento-stuffed olive on each puff. Top with enough dough to cover. Bake as directed.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the onions. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick together.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Stir the onions frequently while cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Season the onions with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the onion puffs immediately. They are best when eaten fresh out of the fryer.

Conclusion:

Onion puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a side dish.
