Gougères au fromage

6 serving

Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 25cl (1 cup) of water
• 150g (2/3 cup) of grated cheese (ideally Gruyère, but Cheddar works too!)
• 150g (2/3 cup) flour
• 80g (6 tablespoons) butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper

Utensils:

• 1 oven
• 1 pan
• 1 cheese grater
• 1 mixing bowl

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425F (220C).
2. Heat the water, butter, salt, and pepper in a saucepan until the butter is melted.
3. Dump in the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides into a smooth ball. Remove from heat.
4. Scrape the dough into a mixing bowl.
5. Add the eggs one by one while stirring quickly.
6. Add about 3/4s of the grated cheese, and stir until well-mixed.
7. Using two teaspoons, put the dough into mounds, evenly-spaced apart, making each about the size of a small cherry tomato on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Top each puff with a bit of the remaining cheese.
9. Put the baking sheet in the oven.
10. Bake for 25 minutes or until they are completely golden brown.
11. Savour it!
