-Heat water and butter and salt until boiling.
-Remove from heat, add flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. -Return the pan to heat and dry the paste, stirring until it pulls away from sides of the pan and a thin white coating is formed on the bottom.
-Transfer the dough in a bowl and stir once, add an egg.
-Let cool slightly and add the remaining eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
-Stir in enough eggs so the dough is soft.

-Beat an egg and brush over mounds.
-Sprinkle each with some poppy seeds and bake 20 minutes until nicely browned. 2 minutes before removing from the oven, leave the oven door ajar for a few seconds to release steam and prevent their relapse after cooking.

Let them cool slightly before cutting in half without separating them completely. Top each with a little onion confit and a small cube of foie gras seasoned with sea salt. Cool and refrigerate until serving.
