Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using a good quality wine, cheese, and puff pastry. The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and will also make it easier to work with.
- Bake the puffs until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy texture.
- Serve the puffs warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
