INGREDIENTS

For the choux pastry:

130ml (1/2 cup) water

60g butter

A pinch of salt

80g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour

2 eggs

For the filling:

450g (2 cups) cream cheese

Zest of 1/2 lemon

60g (1/4 cup) mayonnaise

1 tbsp ketchup

Parsley

1 slice of white bread

METHOD

1. In a pot, add the water, butter and salt, and heat until the butter melts. Add the flour and mix over low heat until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.

2. Once cool, add the eggs one at a time, mixing with a spatula until fully incorporated. Transfer the dough to a piping bag.

3. Pipe small, evenly sized mounds onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 30 minutes.

4. In a food processor, add the cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon zest, mayonnaise, ketchup, parsley and white bread. Blend until smooth and creamy.

5. Cut the cream puffs in half. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and fill each puff. Decorate with small pieces of smoked salmon and pink peppercorns.

6. Arrange the salmon cream puffs on a serving dish and enjoy.
