Ingredients

For the Puffs

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs

For the Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup Mayonaisse
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 green onion diced

Instructions

For the puffs

  1. Preheat an oven to 400. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine water and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When butter is melted slowly whisk in flour. Keep whisking until ingredients form a ball (1 minute). Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Place the batter into a food processor or medium bowl. Add in the eggs one at a time. If using a food processor pulse until each egg is combined. When the last egg is added pulse until the batter is smooth. Drop dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet using a two tablespoon measuring spoon, or (2) one tablespoons. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Gently remove puffs from the oven and place them in a no-draft location until cool.

For the Filling

  1. Combine cream cheese, honey, and mayo in a medium bowl. Whisk together until smooth. Add in garlic powder, rosemary, cranberries, green onion, and bacon. Mix until combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble puffs.

To assemble Puffs

  1. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the puffs in half. Place about 1 Tablespoon of the filling into the bottom half of the puff. Put the top back on and serve.
