Time 30m

Yield 24 gougeres

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk
1 cup water
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 black truffle oil or truffle salt (see Cook's Note)
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, bring the milk, water, and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour and salt. Place back on low heat and gently cook while stirring to dry out the mixture a little bit.
  • Place in a mixer with the paddle attachment. On low speed, incorporate the eggs one at a time. Finish with the Grana Padano, cayenne, truffle oil or salt, and chives.
  • Using a pastry bag fitted with an open tip, pipe to the size of a quarter and bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Serve warm as an elegant passed hors d'oeuvre.
