CHEESY PUFFS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the milk and heat until small bubbles start to form around the edges. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is smooth and glossy and a dough ball forms. (The dough should start to pull away from the edges of the pan.)
- Transfer the dough to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix in 5 of the eggs, one at a time, on medium speed until completely combined. Stir in the salt, pepper and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere.
- Spoon large tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each puff. Whisk the remaining egg and use it to brush the tops of the puffs. Sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere.
- Bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.

GIANT CAULIFLOWER CHEESE PUFF
Recipe comes from Molly Katzen's Sunlight Cafe. Keep this recipe in mind when you need a noteworthy brunch dish but you are not in the mood to fuss. All this requires is some cooked cauliflower and onions, and an egg mixture that gets whipped in the blender. Then put into the oven. Leftovers can be stored up to 5 days in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator and and reheated in a 350 degree oven or a microwave. The salt amount I am UNSURE of after the CHANGEOVER it said 3/4 t. salt but when I researched in online it said 1/4 t. so have changed it to 1/4 t. You can also SUBSTITUTE broccoli for the cauliflower and sharp cheddar for the goat cheese.

- Make sure to squeeze out all of the excess moisture from the cauliflower before adding it to the other ingredients.
- Use a combination of cheeses for a more flavorful cauliflower crust. Cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all good choices.
- For a cheesy cauliflower crust that is extra crispy, bake it for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- If you are using a store-bought cauliflower crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Get creative with your toppings! Cauliflower crust pizzas can be topped with anything you like.
