Lobster Bites are encased in cream puff pastry - an elegant appetizer.

Pastry

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
Dash of salt
2 eggs

Filling

1 cup cooked lobster, chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt and stir. Mixture should stick together and form a ball. Remove pot from heat.

Add eggs, beating until mixture is smooth.

Using a teaspoon, drop mixture on baking sheet, 2" apart.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool. Cut tops off of pastry and set aside.
