½ cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
6 large eggs
8 oz crumbled blue cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 green onions, finely chopped
Bring 1 ½ cups water and butter to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and next 3 ingredients; cook, beating with a wooden spoon, until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a smooth ball of dough. Remove from heat, and cool 5 minutes.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Beat in cheese, bacon, and chopped green onions.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake at 400F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. (Puffs will be moist in the center.) Serve puffs warm or at room temperature.
