Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 4 oz butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- Pinch salt
- Pinch pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/4 cups grated Old Croc Smoked Sharp Cheddar divided
Filling
- 10 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup grated Old Croc Smoked Sharp Cheddar
- 1/4 cup shredded sun dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño peppers
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
-
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
-
In a medium pot bring water, coconut milk and butter to a boil. Reduce heat and add flour, mixing with a wooden spoon to incorporate into liquid. Mixture will have the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove from pot and place in a bowl. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well to make sure they are fully blended into dough. Add salt, pepper, paprika and 1 cup grated cheese.
-
Fill a piping bag with mixture and pipe 16 mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup grated cheese on top of puffs. Bake on middle shelf of oven for approx. 20 minutes or until puffs are a warm golden brown.
Remove from Oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
-
To prepare the filling, drain oil from sun dried tomatoes then mix filling ingredients together in a small bowl. When puffs are cool, slice in half lengthwise then place a tablespoon of filling in each one. Serve immediately.
