Black PepperManchego Cheese Puffs Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded aged (3 to 6 months) Manchego cheese (about 3 ounces)
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange racks in the upper and lower third.
- Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Combine milk, butter, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, add flour all at once, and stir vigorously until well incorporated.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until dough feels dry to the touch and is no longer sticking to the bottom of the pan, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- (The dough will form one large ball.)
- Transfer dough to a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Beat in eggs one at a time on medium-low speed, letting the first one completely incorporate before adding the next.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of the shredded Manchego cheese.
- Add remaining Manchego and Parmesan cheese to dough and mix on low until incorporated.
- Drop tablespoon-size rounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets, about 1/2 inch apart.
- Evenly sprinkle reserved Manchego cheese over top.
- Bake, rotating halfway through baking time, until puffed and golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
