Profiteroles Filled with Cream Cheese

For the profiteroles: In a pot, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil. Add the flour and beat with a wooden spoon over medium to high heat until a firm dough is formed. Remove the dough and place in a bowl. Let cool slightly and then stir in the eggs one at a time. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper and preheat oven to 200°C (convection) (approximately 375°F). Place the dough into a piping bag and pipe small balls onto the sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (do not open the oven while baking). Let cool to room temperature and halve the profiteroles.

For the filling: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese and creme fraiche. Stir in the whipped cream and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture is too runny, add more cream cheese.
