About 45 minutes before serving spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring water and margarine to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat.
With wooden spoon, vigorously stir in flour and mustard all at once until mixture forms ball, leaving the sides of the pan. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until mixture is smooth. Blend diced ham and shredded cheese into mixture (cheese does not need to melt).
Drop batter, using a large spoon and pushing off with rubber spatula, on to a prepared cookie sheet into 12 mounds, about 2 inches apart, swirling top of each. Bake 35 minutes or until golden. Serve as bread with soup and salad, or as main course. Makes 12 puffs.

I bet this could be made without the ham for a vegetarian version.
