HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS
My family used to make these for special occasions, or random visitors! Basically a gougere! They can be baked and frozen then just brought out and thrown in a toaster oven when needed! Sometimes I like a stronger mustard taste so I double the dry mustard. I'm guessing at the amount of servings as I don't think I've ever made a single batch of this recipe - haha.

HAM AND CHEESE CREAM PUFFS
Cream puffs are a family favorite, but I prefer them savory and not sweet, so this is my take on a unique appetizer that disappears quickly! Crab, chicken or other cooked meat could be used to replace ham.
