Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence, recipe follows
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/4 pound blue cheese, or other creamy blue cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, butter, salt, black pepper, and Essence over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Add the flour, and stir constantly with a large wooden spoon to incorporate, about 1 minute. Return to medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after the addition of each. Add the cheese and beat until mixed well and a slightly soft dough forms.
Drop the dough by the spoonful on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or at room temperature.
Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup

These were very easy to make and fantastic right out of the oven. When they came out of the oven they were still a little creamy and light. But, when you let them cool they are a little boring tasting. I mixed a little bit of Essence with sour cream and put that on the side once they cooled down and that went well. My recommendation would be to serve these right when they come out of the oven and your guests will love them. Oh, I didn't use parchment paper I just sprayed the cookie sheet with Pam and they turned out fine.
