Salad in choux pastry
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The result is an excellent appetizer. Its preparation can be divided into two main stages. First, let's prepare the eclairs. Mix water with salt and margarine, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and add all the flour to the liquid. Remove from heat and, stirring constantly, wait until the dough cools down to 50 degrees. Then add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing the dough into a smooth consistency after each addition. Next, place the dough onto a baking sheet and bake the eclairs in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees. Now let's prepare the filling. Make a sauce from flour, butter, and cream, then mix it with sautéed onion and mushrooms cooked separately. Make a side slit in the baked eclairs, fill them with the prepared filling, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve chilled.
