ASIAGO CHEESE PUFFS

Yield: 9 dozen 1-inch puffs

Preparation: 15 minutes, plus baking time

12ounces Asiago cheese, cut in 1 inch pieces

3cups water

1-1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1tablespoon Tabasco®

1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in tablespoons

3cups unbleached all-purpose flour

12large eggs, at room temperature*

Generously grease baking sheets, using solid shortening.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Insert the metal blade in the processor. With the machine run- ning, drop the cheese through the small feed tube and process to chop until grated in appearance, about 30-40 seconds.

Remove and reserve.

Bring the water, salt, and Tabasco® to a boil in a Cuisinart® 2-3/4 quart saucepan. Add the butter. When the butter is melted, and the mixture is ready to return to a boil, take the pan off the heat, and add the flour and all but 3/4 cup of the cheese all at once.

Over very low heat, stir the mixture with a sturdy wooden spoon until it holds together in one mass, then continue to stir for 2 min- utes to cook the flour. Take off heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to the work bowl fitted with the metal blade. Process for 1 minute to cool further, then with the machine run- ning, add the eggs one at a time, taking care to incorporate each egg completely before adding the next. Spoon (you may use a small ice cream scoop) or pipe the dough in 1 inch balls onto the prepared sheets, about 1-1/2 inches apart. Use a fork to flatten them slightly. Sprinkle each with about 1/3 teaspoon of the reserved cheese. Bake until golden and puffed, about 20-25 min- utes. For crispier puffs, cut a small slit in the side with the tip of a knife to allow the steam to escape. Serve hot or warm.

Asiago Cheese Puffs can be made ahead and frozen. Place them on baking sheets and reheat in a 300° F oven for

10 minutes.

*Remove eggs from refrigerator about 30 minutes before using them, or put them in a bowl of warm water while you assemble other ingredients.
