Ingredients
- 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (blue cheese can also be used)
- 3 large eggs, beaten (best NOT to use extra large)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (use real butter, not margarine)
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- Pinch cayenne
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon butter to grease the pan
How to Make
-
Step 1: Dough ... In a heavy, medium size pot, bring the butter and water to a boil. Then, remove from the stove and add the flour and cayenne. Mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter begins to pull away from the side of the pot.
-
Step 2: Eggs and Cheese ... Add the beaten eggs one at a time, and mix well to combine; then, add in the cheese and mix once again.
-
Step 3: Bake ... Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add rounded spoonfuls of the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and buttered. You can skip the parchment or foil, and just butter the pan; but I like the easy clean up. Bake for 30 minutes until they are puffed and golden brown.

Step 4: Serve and ENJOY!
