Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp. (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
• 3 large eggs
• 3 oz. Parmesan Cheese, finely grated
• Sour cream, for serving

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the salt and 1/4 cup water. Remove from heat and stir in the flour and thyme. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is a smooth, shiny dough, about 1 minute.
3. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer and spread up the sides of the bowl to cool. meanwhile, in a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Turn the mixer on medium speed and begin adding the egg, a little t a time, beating well between each addition (the mixture will separate into small chunks, and then come back together).
4. Stir in the cheese and transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off the corner to make a 1/2 inch opening. Pipe logs about 6 inches long, spacing them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool.
5. If desired, place some sour cream into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Squeeze sour cream dots onto the pipes and top with fresh thyme leaves.
