So when I satrted making these for ThatsSoYummy’s Food and Wine Mixer I started to realize I would need to make ALOT of them because I started eating them when they were coming out of the oven… 😀
That meant a lot of puff pastry sheets, especially since I was making these cream puffs in mini muffin tins… but I didn’t mind and neither will you because this recipe I got from our friend Kayleigh at Kayotic Kitchen, is SOOOOOOOOO well worth it!
They are Delish…..
Enjoy!
The Ingredients needed are: cream cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, shallots, sundried tomato, garlic salt, black pepper, and of course puff pastries (which I forgot add in the pic dummy me).
Mince half a small shallot, this definitely added great flavor to the puffs, and 1 large sun dried tomatoe.
Add the minced shallot and sun dried tomatos to a large bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of dried Italian herbs, 4 tablespoons (4 ounces) of softened cream cheese. Then add garlic salt and balck pepper. Kayleigh says add plenty of black pepper…. I did because I love it but you decide how much salt and pepper you want.
Add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, don’t worry Kayleigh says it can be either fresh or processed grated cheese. You can’t beat fresh parmesan though.
Whisk all the ingredients together until it becomes creamy and fluffy.
Defrost as many pastry sheets as you need. I defrosted plenty but for this recipe if making regular sized muffin ins you only need 3 pastry sheets. You make the call on how many you may need!
Depending on the size muffin tins you bake these delicious puffs in will depend on the size cookie cutter you use to cut the pastry sheets. I used a small glass that was slightly bigger than the mini muffin circle themselves.
One you cut the dough, push the dough into the cup. Allow the edges to wrinkle a little bit. This will give all the puffs character… thats right Yummy character. 🙂
Fill each cup with the cream cheese mix. Do not feel like you need to fill them all the way to the top, they are just supposed to be a layer of tastiness on top of the pastry, according to Kayleigh…. and Boy Oh Boy were they!
Throw these babies in a 400 degree oven and allow them to bake till the pastry puffs up and turn golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve these puppies right out of the oven…. Yummy!
