GOUGèRES (FRENCH CHEESE PUFFS)
Gougères are savory cheese puffs made from pâte à choux with a generous amount of cheese folded in. Slightly warm, with a crisp shell and a cheesy interior, they're the perfect little bite to serve with sparkling wine or cocktails.

Steps:
- Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bring the milk, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the flour all at once, lower the heat to medium and, using a wooden spoon, immediately start stirring energetically. The dough will form into a ball and there will be a light film on the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring for another two minutes or so to dry the dough: Dry dough will make puffier puffs.
- Turn the dough out into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or work by hand in a large bowl with a wooden spoon and elbow grease). Let the dough sit for a minute to cool, then add the eggs one by one, followed by the white, beating on medium speed until each one is incorporated before adding the next. The dough may look as though it's separating or falling apart -- just keep going, and by the time the egg white goes in, the dough will be smooth. Beat in the mustard, followed by the cheese. Give the dough a last mix-through by hand.
- Scoop or spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough (I use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop), and drop the dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between the mounds. (The scooped dough can be frozen on the baking sheets.)
- Slide the baking sheets into the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 375°F. Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pans from front to back and top to bottom. Continue baking until the gougères are puffed, golden, and firm enough to pick up, another 15 to 17 minutes. Serve immediately -- these are best directly from the oven. Storing: Although the puffs are best served hot out of the oven, they are still nice (although flatter) at room temperature that same day. If you want to keep baked puffs longer, freeze them and then reheat in a 350°F-oven for a few minutes.
- Make-Ahead/Freezer Instructions: Scoop the dough and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then pack them in an airtight container. You can bake them straight from the freezer; just give them a few more minutes in the oven.
- Note/Variation: Dorie adds ⅔ cup walnuts or pecans, lightly toasted and chopped, to these gougères. My family prefers them without nuts but it's a nice variation to try. Add them along with the cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line 2 aluminum baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the water, olive oil and salt in a saucepan over high heat and bring to boil. Add the sifted flour all at once and stir well.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly to break up any lumps, and until the dough begins to come away from the sides of the pan, approximately 5 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the dough to a *mixing bowl of a stand up mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat the dough on medium speed to cool to room temperature.
- *(I used standard mixing bowl and electric beaters.).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg is added. You want a stiff but pliable texture to the dough.
- Finally, add the gruyere cheese and black pepper. Continue mixing for 1 minute.
- Using a greased teaspoon, drop the dough 2" apart onto the baking sheet. (You can alternatively use a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip and pipe the dough into 1" diameter balls 2" apart onto the baking sheet.).
- Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees and continue baking the puffs until cooked through, about another 20-25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water with the milk, butter, sugar and salt and stir over low heat until the sugar, butter and salt have melted. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a healthy simmer.
- Take from the heat and immediately add the flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens, is smooth and no flour lumps remain. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, until a film forms on the bottom of the pan. Continue stirring, careful not to scrape up the film, for a minute or two more.
- Transfer the mixture (panade) to a food processor. Mix for a minute to dissipate the heat. Add the eggs one at a time with the processor running. Pay attention to the consistency of the paste. It should be smooth and shiny, so you may only need 3 of the eggs. Stir in the cheese.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop generous mounds onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them an inch apart. Place in the oven, immediately reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat water, butter, salt, and chili powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.
- Dump in flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides into a smooth ball. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes, to cool it down a bit. At this point, you can scrape the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. If you don't have a mixer, let it cool in the pan, stirring it a few times to let the heat escape.
- Add eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to make sure the eggs don't cook. The batter will first appear lumpy, but after 1 minute or so, it will smooth out. After the eggs have been added, let cool until tepid.
- When the dough has cooled, stir in a generous 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese until well mixed. (If dough is not cool, the cheese will melt.)
- Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a wide, plain tip. Pipe into mounds, evenly spaced apart, making each about the size of a small cherry tomato. Top each puff with a bit of the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue to bake until completely golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

TARTINE'S GOUGERES CHOUX AU FROMAGE - FRENCH STYLE CHEESE PUFFS
Crisp on the outside, and soft and custardy on the inside-- I can't imagine anything more lovely to serve at wine tastings or with a glass of champagne than a choux pastry (the same type you would make eclairs or cream puffs with) plus shredded cheese. And, these fancy little cheese puffs are really quite easy to prepare. Gougères are typically made with Gruyère cheese and thyme, or you can substitute any hard cheese and herbs you desire in the recipe (try gouda or farmhouse mature white cheddar with herbes de Provence or recipe #376859). Or, make them larger to be filled (try finely chopped ham, sausage or orange marmalade). Best eaten the same day. I've slightly adapted the original recipe which is from the world-famous Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, California.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- To make the Choux paste, combine the milk, butter and salt in a sauce pan and place over medium heat until butter melts and the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Add the flour all at once, stirring until the mixture has formed a smooth paste and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the paste to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or may be mixed by hand).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix on medium speed (or mix by hand vigorously), incorporating each egg completely before adding the next egg. Scrape down the sides of the bowl before adding each egg. When all of the eggs have been added the mixture will be thick, smooth and shiny.
- Add the cheese, pepper and thyme, and gently mix in by hand with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch plain or round tip (no. 6 or 7), filling it about 1/3 of the way full so it is still easy to handle. Pipe the mixture out onto the parchment, making quarter size (about 1 inch) mounds. Leave about 1 1/2 inch space between the mounds. Or, you can use a spoon to drop the mounds onto the parchment, but it is harder to control the thick mixture.
- The mounds may have cheese poking out in odd directions. With a wet finger just pat the mound into a more uniform shape.
- To make the topping, whisk together the egg and salt. Brush the tops of the mounds and then sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place the Gougères immediately into the preheated oven and don�t open the door until they are nicely browned or they may collapse.
- Bake until they have puffed and are nicely browned, about 25-30 minutes.
- They are delicious served hot, warm or room temperature. They can also be frozen in an airtight container, and re-crisped directly from the freezer in an 350F degree oven for 5 minutes.

PâTE à CHOUX FOR CHEESE PUFFS AND CREAM PUFFS
Making pâte à choux is not difficult at all. It is simply a matter of bringing water and butter to a boil, then dumping in flour and stirring it until a mass forms, which takes only a minute or two. You let the steaming dough cool for a moment, then beat in a few eggs, one at a time. That's it.

Steps:
- Put butter and salt in medium saucepan with 1 cup water, and bring to a boil. Add flour, and stir with wooden spoon or sturdy whisk until mixture comes together, about 1 minute. Lower heat and cook for 1 minute more.
- Transfer dough to bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed to cool mixture slightly. Increase speed and begin to add eggs, one at a time. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. After fourth egg has been added, beat for a minute more, until dough is smooth and glossy. Stop machine, add cayenne, nutmeg, pepper and grated cheese, then mix briefly to combine. (If you don't have a mixer, you can also beat the dough vigorously by hand.) Scrape down sides of bowl and remix, then put mixture in pastry bag.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line two 12-by-18-inch baking sheets with parchment. On each sheet, pipe six rows of 1 1/2-inch-round mounds of dough, five to a row, with at least 1 inch of space between them. (If you prefer, use two soup spoons to put the dough on the sheet.) Brush each mound with beaten egg, smoothing the tops with a finger if not quite round.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Continue baking for about 25 minutes, turning baking sheets as necessary, until mounds are puffed, golden and crisp. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and reheat later.
