I can't go anywhere without taking along my puffs. They're pretty enough for a wedding reception yet hearty enough to snack on while the gang is watching football on television. A platter of these will disappear even with a small group. —Kelly Williams, La Porte, Indiana

Ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter, cubed

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rye flour

2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs, room temperature

Caraway seeds

CORNED BEEF FILLING:

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

2 packages (2 ounces each) thinly sliced deli corned beef, chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons minced chives

2 tablespoons diced onion

1 teaspoon spicy brown or horseradish mustard

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

10 small pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add the flours, parsley, garlic powder and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.

2 Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with caraway. Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape; cool.

3 In a large bowl, combine the first 8 filling ingredients. Stir in olives. Split puffs; add filling.
