Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup reduced sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 4
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, stirring quickly after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Step 6
Add the shredded reduced sodium cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 7
Using a piping bag or two spoons, pipe or scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. These cheese puffs are best enjoyed the day they are made.
