Cheese Puffs

Classic French gougères with a crisp, golden shell and a light, savory center enriched with Gruyère. They are elegant warm from the oven and sturdy enough for a drinks-party spread.

Come preparare

1
Heat the oven to 200°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment, leaving space between the sheets for 24 small puffs.
2
Place the water, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a full simmer, with the butter completely melted, then remove from the heat.
3
Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes. Return the pan to medium-low heat and continue stirring until the dough forms a smooth ball and leaves a thin film on the pan, about 2 minutes.
4
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and cool for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Gradually mix in the beaten eggs, adding more only after each addition is absorbed. Stir in 60 g of the Gruyère, the pepper, and nutmeg; the finished dough should fall slowly from the spoon in a thick ribbon.
5
Scoop the dough into 24 mounds, about 2 teaspoons each, on the prepared sheets. Round any pointed tops with a damp fingertip and sprinkle with the remaining 30 g Gruyère.

6
Bake for 20 minutes at 200°C, then reduce the oven to 180°C and bake for 8 to 10 minutes more, until deeply golden and firm. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and rest the puffs inside for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Cooking the flour in the butter-and-water mixture forms a stable pâte à choux base; eggs add lift and richness, while Gruyère melts into savory pockets without weighing down the airy crumb.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freeze cooled puffs in a sealed bag for up to 1 month.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat at 180°C for 6 to 8 minutes, or bake frozen puffs for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and hot. Do not microwave, as they become soft.
