# Étapes:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add flour and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms.
03 - Return saucepan to low heat and stir for 2 minutes until dough pulls away from the sides. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
04 - Beat in the eggs one at a time until the choux dough is smooth and glossy.
05 - Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 3-inch logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and puffed. Cool completely on a wire rack.
07 - In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, chives, parsley, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Fill a clean piping bag with the mixture.
08 - Slice éclairs horizontally without cutting through entirely. Pipe in the herbed cream cheese filling.
