How to Make Gougères

gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: emmental cheese

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

Start by measuring 50 grams of butter and placing it in a saucepan.

Add 60 grams of water and 60 grams of milk to the saucepan with the butter.

Add 2 grams of salt to the mixture in the saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring to combine.

Once boiling, mix until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a cohesive dough.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.

Stir in 100 grams of grated Gruyère cheese until well mixed and the dough is smooth.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
