Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoon thyme finely minced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs large
  • ½ cup Grand Padano cheese grated

Method
 

  1. Place the water, milk, butter, thyme, salt and garlic in a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the flour and stir it in quickly. Keep stirring, the mixture will become thick and stiff. Keep stirring and turning over for about 1 minute. This step is important because the mixture needs to dry out a bit.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed. Carefully add 1 egg. As soon as the egg is partially incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high. Add the remaining egg. Mixture will be smooth. Mix in the Grand Padono.
  4. Preheat oven to 400℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place small scoopfuls the mixture onto the parchment paper. This recipe should make about 20-25 puffs.
  5. Bake on upper rack of oven for 18-22 minutes, or until puffs are golden brown. Watch them closely to prevent over-browning, particularly on the bottom. Serve warm.
