What a great recipe!It's simple and so versatile. I served mine with a little goat cheese in the bottom, topped with smoked salmon, dill, and a tiny lemon piece. Everyone loved them. I'm already thinking about the endless variations this recipe lends itself to in terms of fillings - how about mushrooms sauteed with a little red wine and rosemary topped with grated parmesan? I will also try adding flavourings - herbs, spices, grated cheese to the dough. Make sure to gently scoop out the soft eggy parts inside after the puffs have cooled so you don't end up with that eggy taste. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

EASY! I ran out of bread and it was snowing, so I made these and stuffed them with egg salad for a quick lunch. Now my husband and daughter only have egg salad this way. YUM

I used this recipe to make the "choux" that I wanted to use for my wedding cake (traditional French "piece montee", or "croquembouche". So needless to say, I think this is the best recipe!! :D

The results were dismal. I know I'm the only one that seemd to have this problem so I'll have to try again. they were as hard as you can get no puff at all, just little hocky pucks.

These puffs were just great. I used smoked salmon spread(from this site) as filling and they were a delicious finger food for my cocktail party.

I can't believe I made these and they turned out perfect! I always mess up anything that remotely resembles baking and thought for sure these would be no different. BUT they turned out perfect! I'll be making these all the time!

These are so good! I do the bake at 425 for 10 min, reduce to 350 for 15 and they come out perfect. I don't use parchment or grease the sheet. When you pull them off they have a natural hole for filling. I use the curry chicken salad from this site in these.

This turns out great. Just couple of pointers:1) beat eggs first and drizzle in a little at a time; 2)don't grease cookie sheet or puffs will flatten - use parchment paper instead; 3)bake at 425 for 10 mins then reduce to 350 and bake for another 15-20 mins or until moisture disappears 4)once moisture disappears, turn off the oven and crack open the door but leave them in a little longer to dry out completely;5)puncture small hole on side to allow any excess steam out before cooling completely on rack- this prevents soggines.

The puff is easy to make and is very tasty. Before baking, I put the mix in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in a corner, and squeeze the mix out to form nice small balls. I serve them with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup, and they look and taste like those from restaurant.

I made this recipe, which is really the 'Cream Puff' recipe on this site halved (the times and temps are a bit different). Worked out very nice! Thanks for the post!
