  6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly until the dough becomes glossy and pipeable.
  7. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe rings onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  9. Let choux cool completely before slicing in half horizontally.
  10. In a bowl, mash avocados until smooth, then mix in fresh cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until silky.
  11. Spread avocado cream on the bottom halves of the choux and arrange slices of salmon on top.
  12. Place the top halves back on to complete the sandwich and garnish with chopped chives.
