I used leftover chocolate pastry cream and glaze from the previous batch for my second batch, and I found the chocolate glaze a lot easier to deal with when it had been cooled. It was still pretty gooey, but that added to the deliciousness as they were wonderfully messy!
These were delicious, I'd definitely consider making them again. I filled half with just whipped cream and these were probably my favourite.
They definitely worked a lot better piped onto parchment than waxed paper, the first batch all stuck to the paper, which was frustrating. I also ignored the tricky instructions about keeping the oven door open, it was hot enough as it was without an open oven door!!
Thanks so much to the lovely Meeta and Tony, who
Yummy! Your eclairs look great, and I love the savory idea too.
ReplyDeleteOoh scrambled eggs and bacon in eclairs? What a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteCreative with the eggs and bacon for hubby! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think the savory idea is perfect! Mine were too eggy for my taste, but with bacon, well that would be different!
ReplyDeleteLovely eclairs - good work doing a second batch.
