Melt the butter and water in a saucepan and continue until it comes to a boil. Stir in the 1 cup of flour.
Remove from heat and mix in the sugar. Allow to cool slightly. Temper the eggs and little by little add the eggs into the hot flour mixture.
Stir constantly so the eggs do not cook! Once all the eggs are incorporated and a homogenous mixture is formed, drop by tablespoon full onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and split each puff open while still hot, return to an off oven for a couple of minutes to dry the center out. Allow to cool completely.
Combine butter, cream cheese, parsley and chives in a food processor and "blend" until green. Salt and pepper to desired taste.
Spread and even layer on 1- slices of bread and cover with the remaining slices. Cut off crusts and cut into fancy triangles. Makes about 32-36 triangles.
