Onion Cheese Puffs

[licia]

This is the recipe I had mentioned on the Eclair thread.

1 cup water 1/3 cup butter 1 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder 4 eggs 3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 small onion chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Heat oven to 400 deg. Heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour, salt and garlic powder. Stir vigorously over low heat 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs until smooth. Stir in cheese and onion. Drop by scan teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. About 6 dozen.

Looks really yummy. Is the onion cooked via baking?

[licia]

As I remember it was cut up very fine and cooked well during baking.

I have a dairy-allergic friend who can eat sheep and goat cheese, so I may make this with margerine and manchego this weekend, as it looks like something they would love!

I think the original recipe said butter OR margarine. I'm sure it would be delicious.

Looks great Licia, do you know, do these freeze well either before of after they're cooked? TIA

I haven't frozen these, but I don't see why they wouldn't. I have frozen regular cream puffs and they were great. For my daughter's wedding I made several hundred regular puffs and filled them with chicken salad the day of the wedding. They were just like fresh. If you do freeze these, let us know. I could eat a dozen of them myself if I gave in.

I will definitely be making them for this weekend!
