1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper
2. In a saucepan, boil 1 cup of water, the O-Live extra virgin olive oil, sugar and salt over medium heat
3. Remove from heat, add flour and stir with wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball. Return to medium heat and continue stirring for about 2 min or until a thin film forms on bottom of pan. Remove from heat and transfer to bowl
4. Beat eggs and mix into dough, one by one, until the dough is smooth. Using large spoon and rubber spatula, drop 16 dough balls onto prepared pan, spacing 3 inches apart. (Alternatively, fill pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch tip or snip 1/2-inch corner from resealable bag and pipe mixture into mounds onto prepared pan.)
5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until light golden brown and puffed. Cut a slit into each puff and return to oven. Reduce heat to 350°F; bake for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let puffs dry in oven for 10 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely.
