I incorporated all the ingredients according to the recipe. The proportions seem to be a little off for a pate a choux and the volume of other ingredients (bacon, cheese, etc.) seem like a lot to incorporate. The oven temp and time also did not result in a puffy crisp bite. Mine are more eggy and quiche-like and not puffy and gougere-like but I couldn't really tell from the illustration if this was intended. Next time I will use a recipe with a little more instruction and detail.

Hi John! We're sorry to hear this was not the recipe you were looking for. These Bacon Cheddar Bites should not be compared to traditional pate a choux, since they are not intended to be cream puffs. Because of the cheese and bacon, these will be a little softer and not crisp on the outside like a cream puff. They are tasty little Bacon Cheddar Bites.

Hi Pamela - You should reheat these at 300 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.

The only reason the dough may not have risen, is that you didn't incorporate the flour into the milk and butter mixture until it became one large ball of dough. This dough is the same dough that you would make cream puffs with. We tested them again and they turned out just fine, so maybe give them one more shot!
