Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 40 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
1/4-pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere, plus extra for sprinkling
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over medium heat, until scalded. Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
  • Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside.

CHICKEN CREAM CHEESE PUFFS



Chicken Cream Cheese Puffs image

Seasoned chicken, cream cheese, and onion in a puff pastry. Simple base recipe that is easy to adjust to your liking. I usually boil chicken with a bay leaf, onion salt and garlic salt, then shred it. You may also cube it, buy pre-cooked, etc. This isn't anything fancy and may be too plain for your taste, so I really suggest having fun with it!

2 -8 ounces crescent rolls, packages

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cups chicken, cooked
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • For a crispier puff, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before grating it. This will help to keep the pastry flaky.
  • Work the dough quickly so that the butter doesn't melt.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the puffs until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite filling.
