These look like little cream puffs but filled with a zesty egg mixture.
Ingredients:
dough
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
filling
8 eggs, hard-cooked and chopped very fine
1/2 cup salsa of your choice - add more if the egg mixture seems dry
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayo
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, diced very fine
1/4 t ground pepper
1 t taco seasoning
1 t cilantro. chopped
salt to taste
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
2. Bake at 400˚ for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape. Cool completely on wire racks.
3. In a bowl combine the filling ingredients and then refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend. Meanwhile, split puffs and remove soft dough from inside. Just before serving, add salt to taste then spoon egg mixture into puffs; replace tops and serve.
