Add bacon to a medium-sized skillet and fry it over a medium heat for about 8 minutes or until crisp. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oven to 400° F/200 ° C/Gas Mark 6.
Prepare 2 baking sheets, line them with parchment paper, and set aside.
Take a large pot and add butter, salt, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the butter melts completely.
Remove from the heat, add flour, and stir until well combined.
Return to the heat and cook, stirring intensely with a wooden spoon, for about 2 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky.
Remove from the heat and cool the dough for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, and mix well before each addition. Add cheese and the bacon mix.
With a scoop, drop the batter on the baking sheets. Roll them into balls gently and place about 2 inches apart from each other.
Add 1 tbsp. water to the egg yolk and brush every dough ball with it.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and puffed up.
