1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1⁄4 cup sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all purpose flour

4 eggs

1 egg white, lightly beaten

6 ounces chopped semi sweet chocolate

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cup cream, whipped with 1⁄4 cup sugar Fresh fruit of choice

Combine water and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add sugar and vanilla until dissolved. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously over medium heat until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a smooth ball. Remove mixture from heat and cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until batter is smooth. Let cool slightly. Spoon batter into pastry bag.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe 2-inch rounds, leaving plenty of space between them. Brush with egg white. Set aside until ready to bake.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING FULL MEAL

Place rice in oven on rack position 1. Place focaccia bread on rack position 5. Set timer for 10 minutes. When timer expires, place asparagus in oven next to rice and place salmon on rack 5. Set timer for 20 minutes. When timer sounds, pull all food out of oven. Place cream puff in oven and set timer for 25-30 minutes.

To Serve: Stir prosciutto and peas into rice pilaf and fluff with a fork. Place a ring mold on a warm plate and fill with rice pilaf. Remove the ring mold and place 3 stalks asparagus on top. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese. Top with salmon and drizzle with glaze. Slice foccaccia bread into 1-inch thin slices. Place on plate. Serve immediately.

After Baking: To fill cream puffs, either cut the top off of the cream puff and spoon in whipped cream or place the whipped cream in a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip. Insert the tip into the bottom of the cream puff and pipe in filling.

Melt together chocolate and unsalted butter. Dip the top of the cream puff in the chocolate and let cool. Garnish with fresh fruit of choice.
