1/2 cup125 mL water

1/3 cup75 mL butter, cut in small pieces

Directions

  1 In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, water, butter, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour all at once, stirring until dough forms a ball. Return to medium heat, and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.

  2 Remove from heat and transfer dough to a bowl. Cool mixture 5 minutes. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating each one in completely. Beat the fourth egg separately and add approximately half of egg (use remaining beaten egg to lightly brush puffs). Stir in both cheeses and nutmeg.

  3 Drop dough (about 4 across and 6 down) in 1 ½ tbsp (22 mL) mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with remaining beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 400ºF (200ºC) oven for 28 to 30 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tip(s)

Puffs can be baked one day ahead of time, packaged when cool and refrigerated. Reheat in a pre-heated 350º (150ºC) oven for 10 minutes


Puffs can be frozen for one week. Reheat as above, but for 15 minutes or until hot and slightly crispy
