Ingredients
Directions
  1. PUFFS:
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Combine milk and butter in medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is simmering.
  4. Add flour all at once; continue to cook, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.
  5. Beat in 1 egg until mixture is smooth. Repeat with remaining eggs, adding just 1 egg at a time, beating until thoroughly combined.
  6. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  7. Drop heaping teaspoons of mixture onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  8. PUFF FILLING:
  9. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, dill, chives and salt, until well blended.
  10. ASSEMBLE PUFFS:
  11. Cut the tops off of the puffs, setting them next to the bottoms to use later.
  12. Spread a heaping tablespoon of herbed cheese mixture into the bottom of each puff.
  13. Press one grape tomato half into each cheese filled puff. Then, top with one piece of arugula.
  14. Replace puff tops over arugula. Serve on a plate or platter as an appetizer.
