GOUGERES WITH GRUYERE MORNAY AND BEER MUSTARD
I was lucky enough to have lived in France for more than a couple of holiday seasons. One of the bites you can find at all of the brasseries and bouchons of Paris are gougeres. The very best are slightly warm and oozing with cheese, which provide warmth in the cold months. I enjoyed walking and eating these with espresso most of all.

Steps:
- For the gougeres: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepot combine the milk, sea salt, sugar and butter, and bring to a boil. Add the flour and cook until thoroughly incorporated, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until the dough is the temperature of warm tap water, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Fold in half of the gruyere and some pepper.
- Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch round pastry tip. Pipe 1-inch-wide rounds on the prepared baking sheets 2-inches apart, about 60 total. Sprinkle the top with the remaining gruyere and some black pepper.
- Wet a fingertip and press down lightly to remove the point on each gougere. Bake for 8 minutes and rotate. Bake until the gougeres are golden brown, another 4 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- For the Mornay: In a medium saucepot set over low heat, melt the butter and sweat the shallots and garlic for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and cook until it smells toasted, 2 minutes. Add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring continuously so no lumps form. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Slowly add the gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and stir until smooth. Add the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the Mornay to a bowl and cool in the fridge or set over ice. When cool, transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
- For the sauce: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, beer extract powder, honey, mustard powder and vinegar, and whisk thoroughly to remove the lumps. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Fill the gougeres with the Mornay sauce and reheat in the oven to melt the cheese, 5 minutes. Serve the hot gougeres with the beer mustard.
GOURGERE WITH MUSHROOMS AND HAM
Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Saute onion until soft, but not browned. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for 2 minutes longer. Add chicken broth and water: mix well. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for 4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Add tomato strips and ham strips. Set aside. To make the pate a choux, heat water and butter in a large saucepan until the butter melts. Bring water to a boil, add flour, salt and pepper all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball in center of pan, about one minute. Allow mixture to cool for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. This beating is important or gougere will not puff. Stir in grated cheese. I suppose a cuisinart would make quick work of this! Butter an 11 or 12 inch ovenproof skillet or shallow baking dish. Spoon the pate a choux in a ring around the ege, leaving the center open. Pour the ham, tomato and mushroom filling into the center and sprinkle with remainint 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 debrees for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the gougere is puffed and brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve at once. Note: great wtih fresh fruit and pecan rolls.
CLASSIC GOUGèRES
These classic gougères are cheesier than many others, with a crunchy, salty crust from a sprinkling of Parmesan just before baking. Take care to serve these straight from the oven when they are still hot and a little gooey in the center. If you want to make these ahead, you can freeze them after forming them into balls, but before baking (it's easiest to freeze them directly on the baking sheet if you've got the freezer space). Then bake them while still frozen, adding a few minutes onto the baking time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees, and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water, butter, salt and cayenne to a boil. Stir in flour all at once and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until dough pulls away from the sides of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Scrape dough into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with a paddle until cooled slightly, about 30 seconds. (Or you can do this with a wooden spoon if you beat vigorously.) Add one egg at a time, letting each one incorporate before adding the next. Mix in Gruyère and continue to beat until it is mostly melted into batter.
- Transfer batter to a large, sealable plastic bag, and snip off 3/4 inch from one corner. Pipe 2-teaspoon-sized balls, spaced 1-inch apart, onto baking sheets. Or use a spoon to form the balls. Sprinkle Parmesan on top, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly then serve immediately.

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the ham and add more mushrooms or other vegetables, such as roasted red peppers or zucchini.
