1:
Preheat oven to 375° F. In a 2-quart saucepan combine milk and
butter. Place over medium heat
and cook, stirring occasionally, until
butter melts. Add salt, nutmeg, and
cayenne.

2:
Add flour all at once, stirring until

forms a ball (about 2 minutes). Remove
pan from heat.

Beat in eggs, one at a time,
beating after each addition until mixture

Spoon out dough to make eight
equal mounds, slightly apart, in the

baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining
1/4 cup cheese. Bake until puffs are well browned
and crisp (40 to 45 minutes).
