| 1 | | cup water |
| 1/2 | | cup LAND O LAKES® Butter |
| 1 | | cup all-purpose flour |

Stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add 1 egg at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Stir in 1 cup cheese and chives.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Top each with about 1/2 teaspoon remaining cheese. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until puffed and browned. Serve warm.
