Yield: 42 appetizers
| 1 | | cup water |
| 1/2 | | cup LAND O LAKES® Butter |
| 1 | | cup all-purpose flour |

Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray baking sheets with no-stick cooking spray.

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.
*Substitute 1/8 teaspoon each dried basil leaves, dried marjoram leaves and dried oregano leaves, and a dash of rubbed sage.

Place frozen puffs in resealable plastic freezer bags or containers; return to freezer. To reheat, place puffs on baking sheet; bake at 350°F. for 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through.
