Jennifer's Gourmet Cheese Puffs
We've dubbed these light and tasty cheese puffs "cheese marshmallows."
Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old French bread (350 to 400 g)
- 3/4 cups (175 mL) butter, softened
- 5 oz (150 g) cream cheese, softened
- 9 oz (275 g) aged Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dry mustard
- 3 dashes hot peppers sauce
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- Pinch salt
Preparation
Trim crusts from bread and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. In heavy saucepan, melt butter and cream cheese over medium heat, whisking until blended. Whisk in Cheddar, mustard and hot pepper sauce until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites with salt until stiff; fold into cheese mixture. Dip bread cubes into mixture to coat all over. Place on greased or parchment paper–lined cookie sheet. Cover loosely with waxed paper or foil; refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Bake, uncovered, in 400F/200C oven, turning once, until golden brown, 10 minutes.
Makes 12 servings.
