Servings

Makes

30 Puffs

Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
6 ounces Roelli Dunbarton Blue® cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Cheddar Blue or Dunbarton Blue can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Bring the water, milk, butter, salt and pepper to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Add flour; stir vigorously until mixture pulls away from the sides of pan and a ball forms, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating each until well combined. Continue beating until dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in Dunbarton Blue®.
Pipe or spoon heaping tablespoonful rounds of dough on prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Recipe Tip

To freeze, allow puffs to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the freezer up to 3 months. There’s no need to thaw them—to reheat puffs, bake at 325°F for 10-12 minutes.

Cheesemonger Tip

Roelli Dunbarton Blue® is a cellar-cured cheese with the earthy flavor notes of an upscale English-style cheddar laced with hints of blue cheese. It’s aged for at least 90 days in the open air, which creates a natural rind on the cheese.
