With this recipe, you can make six good sized puffs or feel free to make smaller ones for smaller low cost finger food.

We find these a great treat with soup, and are very particular to making a batch on a Friday or Saturday night to nibble while watching a film.

The kids go NUTS when ever we make these…..and to be honest we do as well!

Cheddar Cheese Puffs

This cheese puff recipe uses just four ingredients, and all of them should be stocked in pretty much any kitchen.

As this is such an easy recipe too; it’s a perfect one for the kids to help out with. Although it’s good for the kids to get involved in the kitchen (and they love it), when things are rushed in the evening, it can increase the amount of time until we get a meal on the table and, to be honest, things get a bit stressed!

These cheesy puffs could almost make themselves as there is very little preparation and nothing can go wrong. Getting everything mixed together can get a bit tough so it’s always worth letting a grown up finish off.

The French usually make something wholly similar known gougères but use Gruyere cheese. We used Cheddar as that’s what we usually have in the fridge but it doesn’t mean you can’t mix it up and add different hard cheeses.

    Just loved these. I made the portions smaller, but then ate two!! My batch made 9 using a desertspoon. Plenty really – I was just greedy! Will definitely make them again. I have a large bag of grated cheese in the freezer, which I add to every time I have some cheese in the fridge that is getting a bit old… I use it in sauces, and from now on, Cheese Puffs!!

    Hi, I was wondering if you could use plain/all purpose flour or bread flour? I have them both in my cupboard but worried they will turn out to be flat. Thanks.
