Profiteroles with herring
Description
Homemade baking for tea. Appetizer profiteroles are, without doubt, a festive dish, though you can also treat your loved ones on a weekday to such a tasty, elegant snack. They are made with meat and liver pâtés, red and black caviar, and salads. Today our filling is herring with apple, onion, and egg. Very tasty—I recommend it. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
