Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, mix and bring to boil the water, milk, butter and salt. Stir in flour and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Lower heat and keep stirring the dough until smooth.
Cool the dough in a bowl for 1 minute and then beat it with a mixer for two to three minutes. Add the Eggland’s Best Eggs to the dough, one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in some extra cheese and a pinch of black pepper and nutmeg.
Fill a pastry bag fitted with ½ inch tip with the dough. Pipe tablespoon-sized dough portions onto baking sheets spaced 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Serve at any preferred temperature.
