Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to make your own Ghostly Cheese Puffs:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly with olive oil spray.
2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove it from the heat once melted.
3. Mix Cheese and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted butter, mixing well until incorporated.
5. Add Eggs: Cracking the eggs into the mixture, stir until fully blended into a smooth dough.
6. Shape the Puffs: Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls or ghost forms. If you want, add small sprouts of cheese on top for “eyes.”
7. Bake: Place the shaped cheese puffs onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, take the cheese puffs out of the oven. Allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh garnish.
