Of the 15 to 20 items I set out when hosting holiday parties, these savory puffs are the first to get snapped up. People enjoy the zippy flavor. They're a nice finger food to eat since they're not sticky or drippy.

The first time I made these I used the chicken and almonds. The second time I used duck and pistachios. I think you could pretty much use any poultry-nut combination that appeals to you. Excellent recipe for gougeres with a twist!

I've made these many, many times. I usually change up the spices depending on the dip I serve with them. We love these served with the Sweet 'n Hot mustard dip recipe also found on TOH.

We used celery leaves (1 Tbsp minced) instead of the celery seed and walnuts instead of almonds. Would use more cayenne pepper next time I make it. They turned out yummy!

I had also thought that when dishing drop cookies and things of that sort that "teaspoon" meant the silverware piece. This recipe actually means a measuring utensil, otherwise they are huge! and makes less than the approximated 6 dozen.
