Cheese Choux Pastry! Gougères Recipe for Beginners!

gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: emmental cheese

Emmental is often less expensive while still providing a similar flavor.

Preheat the oven (temperature not specified).

In a saucepan, combine milk, water, butter, and salt over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture boils.

Add flour to the saucepan and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

Stir in grated cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg until evenly combined.

Spoon or pipe the dough onto a baking sheet, leaving space between each mound.

Bake in the preheated oven until the gougères are puffed and golden brown.
