- 2/3 cups grated white cheese
- 2/3 cups of sifted flour

In a thick and deep pot, heat 1 cup water. When boiling, add the butter cut in pieces + 1 teaspoon of salt.
Remove from the heat and add the flour all at once.
Mix quickly, and let it dry for one minute at low heat.
Let it cool a bit, than add the eggs one by one, mixing well between each egg.
Add the grated cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Put this paste on a buttered oven sheet in small separated portions (the size of a nut), using two teaspoons.
You can paint the puffs with an egg yolk, using a brush.
