For variations, you can use different cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella, or add ingredients like cooked bacon, green onion, or spices.
If you have residual puffs, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for a future snack. To reheat, use the oven for best results. Enjoy your delicious puffs!
