GRUYèRE PUFF

Gruyère Puff image

Like a giant, eggy gougère, this cheese-filled puffy pancake makes an unexpected side dish to roasted meat or fish. You could also pair it with a green salad for a simple and elegant first course or light lunch. Serve it straight out of the oven, when it's at its puffiest.
