Chef's Notes
Mastering choux pastry is a rite of passage. If your dough looks greasy or refuses to bind, your eggs were likely too large or the pan was too hot. Stay calm, keep stirring, and let the science work its magic!
Pro Tip
Always shred your own cheese from a block. Pre-bagged shredded cheese contains cellulose anti-caking agents that ruin the smooth melt required for these glorious puffs.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to rush adding the eggs into boiling hot dough without letting it cool, you will unintentionally create a batch of savory cheese scrambled eggs, banishing your dreams of majestic, airy puffs straight to the royal dungeon.

Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why these are hollow, and he said it's just to make room for all the hot air he blows during staff meetings.
The Culinary Science
Choux pastry relies entirely on steam as a leavening agent rather than yeast or baking powder. The high oven heat converts the water in the dough into steam, inflating the egg-protein network into a hollow, airy orb.
