Ingredients

Bouchées
1/2 cup water 125 mL
1/4 cup butter 60 mL
1/2 cup all-purpose flour 125 mL
2 eggs 2
Lobster filling
4 tbsp butter 60 mL
6 medium fresh mushrooms, diced 6
6 tbsp flour 90 mL
1-1/2 cups milk 375 mL
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten 2
1/2 tsp salt 2 mL
  dash of pepper  
2 cups finely diced cooked lobster 500 mL

Directions

Bouchées

Boil water and butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour. Cook stirring constantly until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms into a ball, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until smoooth and velvety-looking.

Drop by teaspoonful on ungreased cookie sheet. Place in 425°F/220°C oven until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Cool. Cut off tops and fill with lobster filling at serving time and serve immediately.

Lobster filling

Heat butter, add mushrooms and cook gently for 3 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to blend. Remove from heat. Add milk all at once. Stir and return to moderate heat until boiling. Add this to egg yolks, stirring constantly. Boil again, season and add lobster.

Chef's Note

Fill with any desired hot, thick, creamed meat or fish at serving time.
