Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 tsp kosher salt plus more
1 cup all-purpose flour
5 eggs
2 1/2 oz Gruyère, grated
4 oz andouille sausage, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425° with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup water, butter, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When butter has melted, add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium; keep stirring until mixture has formed a smooth, thick paste and pulls away from sides of pan, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or to a large heatproof bowl.
  • If using a stand mixer, add 4 eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed until egg is incorporated and dough is smooth before adding the next egg.
  • If mixing by hand, add 4 eggs, 1 at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until egg is incorporated and dough is smooth before adding the next egg. The mixture should be very thick, smooth, and shiny. Stir in Gruyère and andouille.
  • Use a tablespoon measure to drop dough into 1" rounds about 1 1/2" apart on prepared baking sheets. You should have about 24 gougères.
  • In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg with a pinch of salt. Brush the top of each gougère with egg wash.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°, rotate baking sheets, and continue baking until gougères are puffed and browned, about 15 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.

These gougères were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less salt in the batter.

These were so good! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them and I got so many compliments. I will definitely be making these again.

I thought these were just okay. They were a bit dry and the andouille sausage was not very noticeable. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different recipe.

These gougères were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them for a few minutes less.

These gougères were amazing! I used a smoked andouille sausage and they had the perfect amount of spice. I served them with a side of honey mustard and they were the perfect appetizer.

These were okay. I thought they would be more flavorful, but they were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of sausage.

These gougères were a disappointment. They were dense and dry, and the andouille sausage was barely noticeable. I won't be making these again.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best gougères he's ever had. I think next time I'll use a milder sausage.

I've made these gougères several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they are always delicious. I love the combination of the andouille sausage and the cheese. I also like to add a bit of chopped green onion to the batte

Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great! I was worried they would be too dense, but they were light and airy. The andouille sausage added a nice savory flavor. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit!

These andouille gougères were a hit! They were light and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy crust and a flavorful filling. I used a good quality andouille sausage, and the flavor really shone through. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to the batt
