*Adopted Recipe* I just love this super easy elegant cheese puff snack from Gourmet Editor, Ruth Reichl's book, Garlic and Sapphires. A must read for any foodie! We are serving these at our Thanksgiving table and our neighborhood holiday open house due to huge demand! Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/4 lb unsalted butter |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
5 eggs |
1 cup diced gruyere cheese |
pepper |
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine the water, butter and a teaspoon of the salt into a sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts.
3. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, stir in flour, and mix well.
4. Return the pan to the heat and stir with a wooden spoon over high heat until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan and remove from heat.
5. Stir in eggs, one at a time until well combined.
6. Add the diced cheese, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, stirring well.
7. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto a well buttered baking pan. Smooth the top and sides of each gougere with a knife and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
8. Bake in batches for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.
