Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir all three ingredients together into a thick batter.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.

- Let cool for 5 minutes — they crisp up as they cool. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Cheese Puffs
- Use low-moisture mozzarella, not fresh — it helps the puffs hold their shape.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; the puffs need room for hot air to circulate.
- For extra-crisp bottoms, bake on the lower oven rack.
- If your cheeses are mild, add a small pinch of sea salt to the batter.
Storage
Store cooled cheese puffs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To re-crisp, warm them in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes.
