Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c water
4 Tbsp butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
3/4 c gruyere cheese, shredded
1-1/2 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. The puffs need to start out in a well heated oven so the liquid in the dough steams and then evaporates to create a hollow, puffy core.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a rapid, rolling boil. Make sure all the butter is melted, and then add flour. Stir the mixture for 20-30 seconds, until a sticky dough ball forms and begins pulling away from the sides of the pan. Reduce heat to low-medium heat and cook, stirring, for 90 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  • 3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, after above mixture cools along with cheeses and seasonings. Place heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, for 25-30 minutes. The Gougeres are done when a deep golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately.
  • 4. This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled etc.
