🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

1

Melt butter in a saucepan with water and salt.

2

Add flour slowly while stirring until it forms a dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

3

Let the dough cool to room temperature.

4

Add a pinch of salt and a tiny bit of nutmeg to the dough.

5

Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid cooking the eggs.

6

Fold in Bel Air cheese until evenly distributed.

7

Use a star tip piping bag to pipe the dough onto a baking sheet.

8

Sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.

9

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

10

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

11

Let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting a pocket into the gougeres.

Stuff with mustard, Conte cheese, Speck, pickles, and other fillings.
