Easy cheese choux puff recipe (Gougères) | 3 simple steps to get it right

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

In a saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and pepper over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the mixture simmers.

Turn off the heat and add flour all at once, mixing with a wooden spoon to form a dough.

Turn the heat back on low and cook the dough for 3 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the eggs to the dough, mixing until the consistency is smooth and flows like ribbons.

Add grated cheddar cheese to the dough and mix until incorporated.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
