Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the water over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
Step 4
Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Gently fold in the blue cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
Step 7
Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the puffs cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
