Jessie Sheehan Makes Gruyère Gougères

Gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: Emmental cheese

Emmental is often less expensive and has a similar flavor profile.

Melt butter in a saucepan with non-fat milk, salt, and black pepper over medium heat until it simmers.

Add about 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and milk mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Remove the pan from heat and let the dough cool slightly.

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

Incorporate grated Gruyère cheese into the dough while it is still warm.

Use a portion scoop to scoop uniform mounds of dough onto a baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the gougères in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up.
