A nice variation on gougeres (those cheese cream puff things). A 1 ounce scoop is perfect for making these. They can be frozen and reheated.

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 c butter
- 1 c chicken stock
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 c finely diced cooked chicken
- 2 Tab chopped toasted almonds
- 1/8 tsp paprika
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Combine butter and chicken stock in pan over low heat until the butter is melted.
- Add flour and salt all at once.
- Stir vigorously until it forms a ball and leaves the side of the pan.
- Remove from heat.
- Add eggs, one at a time, and beat thoroughly after each. Stir in chicken, almonds and paprika.
- Drop by small teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.
- Bake 10 minutes at 450° then 5 – 10 minutes at 350° or until brown.
Serves: 4 – 5 dozen
