Cheese and Dill Puffs Recipe
Cream puffs… cheese puffs … who doesn’t love them? I have an obsession with appetizers so all the time I’m trying to create, upgrade and come up with new things. This one though is not a new one as my mom used to make this type of appetizers for parties as they are great finger food. What’s new is the ingredients as I cannot find here in the States all of the types of cheeses or spices I’m looking for, but I assure you is great. The great thing is that you can make extra puffs and you have appetizer and dessert.
