How to make Cheese Stuffed Savory Profiteroles:
Before making the cheese-filled profiteroles, the first step is to get all the ingredients ready. To make the choux pastry, in a saucepan add the milk, sugar, salt and butter, cook over low heat until completely melted. Remove the pot from the heat and add the flour all at once (previously sifted), mix very well until all the dough is incorporated. Then, return the pot to a very low heat and cook until the dough comes off the walls of the pot. Finally turn off the heat, let the dough cool and add the eggs one by one, until the point of ribbon is obtained.
Trick: Tape point: add the eggs one by one, mix everything very well and take a little of the dough with the spatula, when dropping it should not break. Add the chouxa paste to a pastry bag with a curly nozzle and on a silicone mat, make small balls. Cook the profiteroles for 20 minutes at 180°C. When they come out of the oven, let them cool down so that you can fill the profiteroles.
Tip: It is important that you do not open the oven during the first 15 minutes of cooking.
To make the filling, in a bowl add the cream cheese with salt, pepper and finely chopped pickles, stir until smooth. Open the profiteroles and fill with the cream cheese mixture.
