Today for Sunday Supper we are celebrating foods that you will want to serve at an Award Show Party! So we all brought out our fancy foods because living fancy is fun and tasty!
These Stuffed Cheese Puffs are full of wonderful flavor and are easy to make. You can make the cheese puffs a couple days ahead of time, and the filling can be made the day before you plan to serve them. Put everything together the day of the party!
Stuffed Cheese Puffs (makes 25-30 puffs) (recipe at end of page)
Cheese Puffs
1 cup Water
1/2 cup Butter
3/4 teaspoon Dried Basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Salt
1/8 teaspoon Ground Red Pepper
1 cup Flour
4 Eggs
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese
Filling
8 ounces Brie Cheese, cut rind off
8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1 1/2 ounces Pecans, chopped
2 ounces Yellow Onion, diced
1 raw large Shrimp per cheese puff
Shrimp
1-2 teaspoons Butter
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
Black Pepper
Sauce
2 ounce Cream Cheese
4 teaspoons Lemon Juice
4 teaspoons Orange Juice
Use a medium saucepan and combine the water and butter. Using high heat, add the basil, garlic salt and red pepper.
Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until the flour comes together in a ball. The ball needs to be firm, so it won’t fall apart. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating egg until it is completely incorporated and smooth.
Stir in cheese.
Using a 1 teaspoon scoop, scoop the dough onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until they have a golden color. Let puffs sit in oven for 10 minutes after turning it off. Remove from oven and cool completely. These can be made a day or two ahead of time.
Clean, peel and devein shrimp. Saute shrimp in butter, minced garlic and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Drain butter from pan and turn the heat up. Flip the shrimp over as they cook and get crisp on both sides.
Mix together the brie, cream cheese, pecans and onion.
Take each shrimp and cut off the top part. The top will go on the Stuffed Cheese Puffs. You will need 1 top of shrimp for each cheese puff. Chop up the rest of the piece into small pieces and set aside. Add the small cut pieces to the cheese, pecan and onion mix and stir together.
Cut off the very top of each cheese puff. Remove bread inside of puff and discard. Place filling in cream puff. Add top part of shrimp to each puff.
Mix together the cream cheese, lemon juice and orange juice.
Drizzle sauce over each cheese puff, and enjoy!
