Little Cheese Puffs

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 cup Water
3/4 teaspoon Salt
7 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cut into chunks and chilled
4 lrg Eggs
1/2 cup Grated Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup Chives, minced

Preparation

1
Sift the flour and nutmeg together and set aside. In a medium-size saucepan combine the water, salt and butter. Bring the mixture to a full boil and let it boil for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon, creating a thick paste. Return the pot to the stove and continue cooking for about 30 seconds more until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball of dough. Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool slightly. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Finally mix in the cheese and chives.

Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch between them. Bake at 400 for 35-40 minutes or until puffed, golden and crisp.
