Brunch Puffs Main Dish



1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
FILLING:
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
8 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chopped fully cooked ham
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese


In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until mixture is smooth and shiny.

Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. Immediately split puffs open; remove and discard tops and soft dough from inside. Set aside.

In a large skillet, saute green pepper and onion in butter until tender. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper. Add to skillet, stirring over medium heat until almost done. Add ham and cheese; stir until eggs are set. Spoon into puffs. Serve immediately.

Yield: 8 servings.
