Most people know profiteroles as a cream-filled dessert, but this recipe turns them into one truly tasty appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 350°.
Combine the basic ingredients. Add half a cup of water, half a cup of milk, and half a stick of butter to your pot and bring it to a boil.
Add half a cup of all-purpose flour to the pot.
Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the flour has absorbed all the liquid.
Remove the pot from the heat. Keep stirring to allow steam to escape.
Mix in four eggs.
Spoon the dough into a pastry bag.
If you don’t have a pastry bag, fill a self-sealing plastic bag and cut off one corner.
Secure the parchment paper to the sheet pan by putting a small dot of dough in the four corners of your pan and then laying the parchment paper in place.
Pipe the dough onto the paper.
Put the pan into the oven.
Mix the filling. Add 11 ounces of fresh goat cheese (at room temperature), about a quarter cup of roasted garlic, a teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme leaves, and a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley to a bowl. Mix the ingredients together, using your spoon to crush the garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling into a pastry bag.
Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the profiteroles to cool for 10 minutes.
Fill the profiteroles by inserting the tip of your pastry bag into the center of the profiterole and squeezing in your goat cheese filling.
Serve and enjoy!
In 1998, bakers in Athens made a profiterole that weighed 4½ tons and required 1,800 eggs.
