Gougére

Gougére

Gougéres are French cheese puffs that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or by themselves with a side salad. They are made with a basic pate a choux dough with lots of added cheese. The cheese can be anything that tickles your fancy. My mise en place for this recipe included: All purpose flour, whole milk, unsalted butter, eggs, cheese of choice and chives (Optional). For the cheese, I used a blend of gruyére and aged gouda.
