How to Make Them

• Pre-heat the oven to 400-degrees

• Then, remove pot from the heat and beat in eggs until it becomes a pasty consistency

• Drop by the spoonful onto cookie sheets

• Bake at 400-degrees for 10-minutes, then turn the heat down to 350-degrees for another 20-minutes

Topping Your Cream Puffs

• Let the cream puffs cool before slicing

• Once cooled, cut tops off and clean out any excess dough before filling (if any)

• Finally, fill up the cream puffs with your favorite custard, chocolate mouse, or fruit. In the mood for savory? Then, you’ve gotta try them with chicken salad!

• I like to pile on the chicken salad along with some juicy tomatoes and crisp lettuce
