French Cheese Puffs with Ham

These are basically cream puffs, but the ingredients are adjusted to make a savory appetizer instead of a sweet dessert. They're best served hot, but are still good at room temperature. 

French Cheese Puffs with Ham 

• 1/3 cup butter or margarine 
• 3/4 cup water 
• 3/4 cup flour 
• 3 eggs 
• 1 cup chopped ham 
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley or chives 

Bring butter and water to a boil; stir in flour and cook until it forms a ball. Cool a bit, then beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in ham, cheese and parsley. Drop by tablespoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet.

  Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400°. Makes about 2 dozen.
