Gourmet Tastes on a Tuna Fish Budget

My friend Shayna, brought sandwiches like these to me after my second baby was born.  They were so fabulous that I got the recipe.  Hers were filled with chicken salad and made with Swiss cheese.  These are slightly less gourmet, but still very tasty.  Here’s the recipe:

Dough:

1 Stick butter

1 Cup water

1 Cup flour

4 eggs

1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a medium saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil.  Stir in flour until it forms a dough.  (It’s similar to making playdough at this point :).  Remove from heat and and allow cool slightly.  Add eggs, one at a time beating well with a wisk or electric mixer after each one.  Stir in cheese.  Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.  Depending on the size you get about 20 puffs.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 for 20 more minutes.  It’s very important not to open the oven door even a crack until the entire cooking time is over.

While the puffs are baking make a tuna salad:

2 Cans tuna, drained

1 stalk celery, finely chopped

1/2 Cup mayo

1/2 Cup plain yogurt

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 C cheese

Combine all together and chill.

When the puffs are cool.  Open the tops with a fork and fill with tuna salad.  Yum!
