The Best Cheesy Puffs You've Never Heard Of

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat water, whole milk, unsalted butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and boiling.

Reduce heat and add all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms and there are no clumps.

Continue mixing on low heat until the dough pulls away from the edges of the pan.

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl.

Using a mixer, add whole eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next egg.

Grate gruyere and parmesan cheese, then fold into the dough on low speed.

Prepare a piping bag with a large round tip and spray sheet pans with a minimal amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Pipe tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.

Optionally, sprinkle additional cheese on top for extra flavor and crunch.

Bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes, checking for doneness.

If undercooked, leave in the warm oven (turned off) for an additional 15 minutes.
