Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Water
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 4 pieces Large eggs
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoons Ground 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, combine the butter, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and the water begins to boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and quickly stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball of dough, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a medium mixing bowl and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. This prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly in the next step.

Step 5

Using an electric hand mixer or a wooden spoon, beat in one egg at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should become smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, and black pepper until evenly combined.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded 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 cheese puffs are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 9

Remove the cheese puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving. They are best served warm but also delicious at room temperature.
