Spiced Cheddar Cheese Puffs

• 1/2 Cup (1 stick) butter
• 1 Cup flour (4.25 oz)
• 4 Large eggs plus 1 egg white
• 1 Cup shredded sharp cheddar, plus 1/2 Cup, for topping
• 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp kosher salt

1. 1. Preheat oven to 425F. Combine butter with 1 Cup water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to medium, add flour, and cook about 6 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should form a sticky ball, and a slight film should stick to the bottom of pan.
2. 2. Scrape dough into a food processor; pulse a couple of times to cool. With motor running, add eggs 1 at a time, then the egg white, until a thick paste forms. Add 1 cup cheddar, curry powder, red pepper, cumin, and salt; process until combined.
3. 3. Scrape dough into a zip-top bag. Squeeze out air and snip one corner to make a very small hole. Pipe dough in 1 Tbsp mounds onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Top each with more cheddar and a sprinkle of poppy seeds.
4. 4. Bake 20 minutes (do NOT open oven door). Reduce heat to 375F and bake until golden and crisp, 10 minutes more.
