Recipe: Wisconsin Cheddar Bacon Puffs

WISCONSIN CHEDDAR BACON PUFFS

1/3 cup butter
1 cup water
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp grated parmesan

Boil butter and water together.

Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook, stirring until the mixture forms a ball that does not separate. Remove from heat and let cool about 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in cheese and bacon. Drop dough by well rounded tablespoons into a 6-inch ring on prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 1/4-inch between scoops of dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Bake about 30 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Serve warm.
