Ingredients

Profiteroles:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Filling:

  • 8 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
  • Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

Herb Oil:

  • 3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • Pinch salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts, for garnish

For the Profiteroles:

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a heavy large baking sheet with a silicon pad or parchment paper. Combine the water, butter, and salt in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until the butter melts. Add the flour and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Cool for 5 minutes. Crack the eggs into a measuring cup. Use a wooden spoon to beat the eggs into the dough, 1 at a time. Stir in the Parmesan and pepper. Spoon 18 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until the profiteroles are puffed and golden, about 45 minutes. Allow the profiteroles to cool completely.

For the Filling:

Combine the goat cheese and cream in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip together the cheese and the cream. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Set aside.

For the Herb Oil:

Combine the herbs in a food processor and pulse to chop the herbs. With the machine running add the oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

To serve:

Using a serrated knife, cut off the top of the profiteroles. Fill each profiterole with a spoonful of the goat cheese mixture and return the top of the pastry. Place a few profiteroles on a serving plate, drizzle with herb oil, and sprinkle with walnuts. Serve.

    I like the concept of this but I don't think this is a great recipe for the choux pastry dough. I only buy jumbo eggs and the dough was way too 'wet", the buns were very flat. If a recipe calls for a particular size of egg it should say so. I will make this again but not with this dough!

    A bit time consuming but a very nice flavor. We saved ourselves some time by using the stand mixer and paddle to incorporate the eggs into the flour/butter/water mixture. We also preferred pistachios to walnuts.

    A very fancy appetiser! super easy, they did not puff up a lot, but it was fine anyway because you have the tops to give them height. I did not even make the oil and they were still delicious. Can be filled with anything. I would leave them less time in the oven, maybe 30 min, so they are moist.
