Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (15 profiteroles)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Pinch salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup olive oil
Pinch salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a heavy large baking sheet with a silicon pad or parchment paper. Combine the water, butter, and salt in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until the butter melts. Add the flour and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Cool for 5 minutes. Crack the eggs into a measuring cup. Use a wooden spoon to beat the eggs into the dough, 1 at a time. Stir in the Parmesan and pepper. Spoon 18 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until the profiteroles are puffed and golden, about 45 minutes. Allow the profiteroles to cool completely.;
  • Combine the goat cheese and cream in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip together the cheese and the cream. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Set aside.;
  • Combine the herbs in a food processor and pulse to chop the herbs. With the machine running add the oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.;
  • Using a serrated knife, cut off the top of the profiteroles. Fill each profiterole with a spoonful of the goat cheese mixture and return the top of the pastry. Place a few profiteroles on a serving plate, drizzle with herb oil, and sprinkle with walnuts. Serve.;

These profiteroles were a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pine nuts from the herb oil. The profiteroles were still delicious!

I served these profiteroles with a side of roasted cherry tomatoes. It was a delicious and elegant appetizer.

I added a bit of chopped spinach to the goat cheese filling for an extra pop of color and flavor.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I substituted cream cheese in this recipe. The profiteroles were still delicious!

These profiteroles were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought the recipe was a bit too complicated. I ended up making a few shortcuts and the profiteroles still turned out great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my profiteroles didn't turn out as light and airy as I expected. They were still tasty, though.
