Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- In a medium-size saucepan, combine the milk, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture simmers.
- Remove from heat, add the pastry flour, and stir vigorously until combined.
- Return to medium-low heat and stir until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the pan, about 2 minutes.
- Allow to cool for about 3 minutes.
- Transfer half of the dough to a food processor, add half of the eggs, then the remaining dough and eggs. Pulse until smooth, then add cheese and pulse until blended.
- Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large plain piping tip.
- Pipe mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 ½ inches apart.
- Smooth the tops with wet fingers.
Baking
- Bake in the oven's center for about 18 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Turn off the oven, prop the door open, and let the pastries sit inside for another 10 minutes to stabilize.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a spicy dipping sauce or creamy garlic aioli. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in oven for best results.
