Cheese bread is one of my favorite forms of carbs. This cheese bread is basically a savory version of a cream puff. The batter comes together quickly with just butter, water, flour and eggs. Stir in cheese and bake for an easy cheese bread perfect for any night!
I didn’t set out to make cheese bread for this month’s Secret Recipe Club. In fact, On The Move – In the Galley made it very difficult to choose a recipe. What an amazing collection of recipes there are on this blog! I really didn’t have anything in mind when I went searching. The crepes with Lemon Parsley Sauce look amazing. When I saw the Parmesan Puff recipe and realized that it is basically a savory rendition of a cream puff, I knew I had to try it.
What I love about this recipe is that you can make it your own very easily. I just used Parmesan cheese, but any cheese would work. Then add your favorite herbs – straight from your garden, perhaps. We ate these with all sorts of meals – salmon, pasta with clam sauce, at breakfast with eggs and they were delicious with each one. This would also be a fun cheese bread to make in to small puffs to serve as an appetizer.
