Easy Cheese Gougères: A French Delicacy Made Simple

First, preheat your oven to 200°C (th 6-7). In a saucepan, bring 25 cl of water to a boil with the butter cut into pieces and 1 teaspoon of salt. Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the flour all at once. Quickly mix everything together, then cook it on low heat for 1 minute to dry it out.

After that, remove the pan from the heat and add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the grated Gruyère cheese and a pinch of nutmeg. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.

Next, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet using a spoon or a piping bag. Make sure to space them out, as they will puff up as they bake. If you like, you can brush the tops with an egg yolk for a beautiful golden color.

Bake the Gougères in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown. Serve them warm and enjoy the delicious cheesy goodness!

Your guests will be impressed by these tasty cheese puffs, and you’ll love how easy they are to make. So, why not give them a try for your next get-together? They’re sure to be a hit!
