Most people know profiteroles as a cream-filled dessert, but this recipe turns them into one truly tasty appetizer.

To complete this how-to, you will need:

water
milk
Half a stick of butter
all-purpose flour
A heavy, 1- to 2-quart pot
eggs
roasted garlic
fresh goat cheese
An 11-by-17-inch sheet tray
Some parchment paper
piping or pastry bags
chopped fresh thyme leaves
chopped fresh parsley
Some salt and pepper
A wooden spoon
An oven
A paring knife

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Step 2: Combine the basic ingredients

Combine the basic ingredients. Add half a cup of water, half a cup of milk, and half a stick of butter to your pot and bring it to a boil.

Step 3: Add flour

Add half a cup of all-purpose flour to the pot.

Step 4: Stir

Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the flour has absorbed all the liquid.

Step 5: Remove pot from heat

Remove the pot from the heat. Keep stirring to allow steam to escape.

Step 6: Mix in eggs

Mix in four eggs.

Step 7: Spoon dough into pastry bag

Spoon the dough into a pastry bag.

If you don’t have a pastry bag, fill a self-sealing plastic bag and cut off one corner.

Step 8: Secure parchment paper

Secure the parchment paper to the sheet pan by putting a small dot of dough in the four corners of your pan and then laying the parchment paper in place.

Step 9: Pipe dough onto the paper

Pipe the dough onto the paper.

Step 10: Put the pan into the oven

Put the pan into the oven.

Step 11: Mix the filling

Mix the filling. Add 11 ounces of fresh goat cheese (at room temperature), about a quarter cup of roasted garlic, a teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme leaves, and a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley to a bowl. Mix the ingredients together, using your spoon to crush the garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12: Spoon filling into pastry bag

Spoon the filling into a pastry bag.

Step 13: Remove profiteroles from oven

Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the profiteroles to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 14: Fill the profiteroles

Fill the profiteroles by inserting the tip of your pastry bag into the center of the profiterole and squeezing in your goat cheese filling.

Step 15: Serve and enjoy

Serve and enjoy!

In 1998, bakers in Athens made a profiterole that weighed 4½ tons and required 1,800 eggs.
