Stilton, Bacon, and Scallion Puffs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 pound Stilton, crumbled (about 1 cup)
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled fine
- 3 tablespoons minced scallion
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the water, the butter, and a pinch of salt and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to moderate, add the flour all at once, and with a wooden spoon beat the mixture until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the Stilton, the bacon, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of the batter 2 inches apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake the puffs in the middle of a preheated 425F.
- oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden.
