Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Mist a nonstick 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. In a blender, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute, scraping the sides of the blender jar as needed.

Divide the batter among the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until the puffs are well risen and deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Immediately transfer the puffs from the pan to a wire rack by lifting them out one at a time. Serve warm or room temperature.

Brazilian Cheese Puffs with Gruyère and Chives: Substitute an equal amount of Gruyère cheese for the Asiago. After blending, stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives.
