Fail-proof cheese puffs

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• salt
• 6 ounces grated Comté cheese

Materials

• Piping bag

Preparation

• Melt the butter in the water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
• Immediately add the flour, and mix well while keeping it on the heat. Mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pot. Remove from heat.
  
• Add the eggs one by one, mixing vigorously each time. The first egg is the most important, as it gives elasticity to the dough.
• Finally, add the grated cheese to the mixture and stir.
  
• Place small balls of dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C). At the end of the baking time, turn off the oven and slightly open the door, waiting about ten minutes before taking the puffs out to prevent them from collapsing.
• And there you have it, your cheese puffs are ready!
