Ham and Cheese Cream Puffs image

Cream puffs are a family favorite, but I prefer them savory and not sweet, so this is my take on a unique appetizer that disappears quickly! Crab, chicken or other cooked meat could be used to replace ham.

These cream puffs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in the filling. They were a great substitute and the cream puffs were still very tasty.

The cream puffs were a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the batter.
