125 g  butter 
125 ml  milk 
125 ml  water 
.5 tsp  dry mustard 
.5 tsp  paprika 
 salt and pepper 
125 g  plain flour, sifted 
4 large  eggs 
50 g  tasty cheese, grated 
25 g  parmesan cheese, grated 
2 red capsicums, grilled, peeled, julienned 
6 Roma tomatoes, halved and grilled 
400 g  tinned artichokes, sliced 
200 g  goats cheese 
36 olives, pitted 
 
1Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the milk, water, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. As soon as it starts to boil, add the sifted flour while stirring. Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes until the mixture comes away from the sides of the saucepan. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly.
3Beat the eggs together and gradually add to the mixture. Beat well after each addition of egg. Do not beat in more egg than is necessary to achieve a dropping consistency. Add the tasty cheese and a little of the parmesan, reserving the rest for the top of the dish. Using a piping bag with a plain nozzle or two tablespoons, put the mixture onto a greased baking tray. Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese. Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until brown. Take out of the oven, cut off the top and put back into the oven for 5 minutes to dry out.
4Heat the grill. Slice the goats cheese into 6 portions, place on a greased baking sheet and put under the grill until the top is golden. Fill each choux with red capsicum, roasted tomatoes, artichokes, grilled goats cheese and olives. Put the lid on the top and serve.
