Step 1

Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Mist a nonstick 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. In a blender, combine all ingredients but the 2 tablespoons cheese for sprinkling. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping the sides of the blender jar as needed.

Step 2

Divide the batter evenly in the cups of a nonstick 24-cup mini muffin pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops, then bake until the puffs are well risen and deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Immediately transfer puffs from the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
