Profiteroles, also known as cream puffs or choux puffs, are a delightful French pastry that can be filled with either sweet or savory fillings to suit your palate. While sweet profiteroles often steal the spotlight, savory stuffed puffs can be just as delicious and make for a unique appetizer or party snack. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of filling savory profiteroles to satisfy your savory cravings.

What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the filling process, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment:

  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • A piping bag with a round tip
  • Your choice of savory filling (see suggestions below)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we have everything ready, let’s start filling those profiteroles:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Add the flour to the saucepan and stir continuously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for a few minutes.
  5. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the dough, mixing well after each addition, until the dough becomes smooth and glossy.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  7. Pipe small rounds about 1-inch in diameter onto the lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for expansion.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the profiteroles have puffed up and turned golden brown.
  9. Remove the profiteroles from the oven and let them cool completely.
  10. Cut a small slit in the bottom of each profiterole using a serrated knife.
  11. Fill a piping bag with your choice of savory filling and carefully pipe it into each profiterole through the slit until they are nicely filled. You can also use a small spoon to fill them in if you prefer.
  12. Serve your savory stuffed puffs immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy!
