I can't go anywhere without taking along my puffs. They're pretty enough for a wedding reception yet also hearty enough to snack on while watching football on television. A platterful of these will disappear even with a small group. —Kelly Williams, La Porte, Indiana

if i take these to a party i had better come with plenty of copies of the recipe. only thing i have changed is to go easy on the amount of filling. any leftover goes great on crackers, etc.

Fantastic - I only used one 8 oz cream cheese. I substituted the mustard for Dijon & added 2 oz of extra meat. Wonderful. Can't wait to make it again!

This recipe showed up in Taste of Homes years ago. My aunt decided to try the recipe for a pot luck. The puffs were a huge hit. We have been making these for get togethers ever since.

The puffs could absolutely be made ahead and froze.  Once they're completely cooled, pack them in a freezer bag or other suitable container for your freezer and store them for several weeks.  If they're a little soggy when you thaw them - pop them back in the oven for a couple minutes.

Then just fill them before serving!  You could even make the filling a day or two ahead if you needed to.   It would make prepping the day of your event much easier.

how do these hold up to freezing? Would you freeze the puffs unfilled? Thank you.

AnnieWarriorPrincess asked about leavening. When making cream puffs, such as this, it's the beaten egg which causes these to puff up with steam. It's critical to follow instruction for adding eggs one at a time, and as soon as they come out of the oven, make a slit to allow the steam to escape. If not, you'll have a soggy puff. I've made this recipe many times through the years, and always get applause! Please give it a try!

I made these ALL the time years ago to take to gatherings! They were ALWAYS a hit! ...and they are fairly easy too! :)

How do these puffs freeze? I would like to make about 4 recipes of puffs ahead and fill the day of a party.

I own a bakery/deli and use this recipe for various party trays and more. I also substitute the corned beef with ham and add white cheddar. To make vegan, I substitute the meat with black olives and add mozzarella. In the puff recipe, I use cornmeal instead of rye then make a southwest filling with beef and beans and cumin in the cheese mix. I also make a gluten free version with no problems! Possibilities are numerous with success every time!! Try shrimp and crab with gorgonzola in the fill!! Customers rave!!
