I have a recipe almost exactly like this from Sunset magazine (just no cayenne in the recipe). It's worth the effort to stir the eggs into the batter. They keep great in the freezer to be reheated for unexpected guests. -
If you are a blue cheese fan, you must try this recipe! I love blue cheese, and I had all the ingredients, so I whipped up a batch Saturday afternoon. As soon as they came out of the oven and were cool enough to eat - I ate 6 of them! As I was eating them, there was something familiar about them...they tasted like cream puffs with blue cheese. And guess what? That is exactly what they are :). I had never made cream puffs before because I thought they were "too difficult", but this recipe tricked me into making them, and they were easy! So thanks, Nurse Di, for a great recipe and for teaching me how to make Cream Puffs!
