Tonight I made the oh so yummy Brocolli and Cheese Soup that I gave you the recipe for previously, but instead of making a cheese and herb loaf this time I made cheese and bacon puffs. These puffs are great for any soup or casserole!


Cheese and Bacon Puffs

1 c milk
60g butter
1 c flour
4 eggs
1 c cheese - I added a 1/4 c fresh grated parmesan cheese for flavour
5 slices streaky bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 t crushed garlic
good pinch mustard powder
salt and pepper

Combine milk and butter in a medium saucepan. Heat over a medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is simmering. Add flour all at once, continue to cook, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from the heat. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating in thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Drop teaspoonfuls onto a baking paper lined tray and bake in a hot 190oC oven for 15 - 20 mins or until puffed and golden. Serve warm or at room temperature (don't be in a hurry to get them out of the oven, open the door a little and let them dry).

Enjoy! They're as yummy as savoury scones, but so much lighter, mmm

Happy Cooking,

Kerry
