Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup milk or water
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Egg Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar, finely shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare dough: In a saucepan, bring milk (or water), butter, salt, and cayenne pepper to a boil. Add flour, stir until smooth, and cook until it forms a non-sticky dough. Cool slightly.
  3. Whisk eggs: Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons for an egg wash.
  4. Combine ingredients: Gradually add the eggs to the dough, then stir in the shredded cheese.
  5. Pipe and bake: Pipe the mixture onto baking sheets, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with cheese, and bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, then at 350°F for 18-19 minutes until puffed and browned.

Notes

  • Finely shredded cheese works best in this recipe.
  • Milk can be substituted with water for a slightly different flavor.
  • Cook the flour mixture until it forms a non-sticky dough.
  • Cool the flour mixture before adding eggs and cheese.
