Savory French-Inspired Party Bite – St. Patrick’s Day

Airy choux pastry puffs folded with sharp Irish cheddar and fresh jalapeño, baked until hollow and crisp outside, soft and steamy inside. The cannabis is infused into the butter used in the choux base for even distribution. Light, savory, and completely different from desserts and dips.
