Blobs

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (50 mL)  unsalted butter
• 1 cup (250 mL)  all purpose flour
• 1 tsp (5 mL)  salt
• 4  eggs
• 3 oz (90 g)  cold   PC La Belle Riviere Cheese , roughly chopped

Chef's Tips

• Caramelized onions: In large non-stick frying pan, heat 4 tsp (20 mL) PC Splendido Extra Virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 thinly sliced medium-sized white onions, ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt and 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, or until onions are golden brown and tender. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, for 13 to 15 minutes or until onions are very soft.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In medium saucepan, heat butter and 1 cup (250 mL) water over high heat until mixture comes to rolling boil and butter melts. Stir in flour and salt all at once; using wooden spoon stir vigorously until dough forms a shiny ball, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using whisk, beat in eggs all at once until eggs are mixed in, about 1 to 2 minutes. (Don’t worry if mixture looks lumpy.) Whisk in cheese until smooth.

3. Using a tbsp (15 mL) measure, drop blobs of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. You will get about 36 blobs.
4. Bake in centre of oven until golden and puffed, about 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm, with caramelized onions.
