  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Combine the water, butter and cayenne in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
  3. Add all the flour at once and stir quickly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Take off the heat and let it cool for 2 minutes.
  5. Beat in one egg until fully combined and smooth, then beat in the second egg.
  6. Mix in all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
