Gougeres with Comte image

Gougeres (French cheese puffs) taste best when they are still warm, but they can also be made in advance and frozen. I like to serve them with a glass of wine as an aperitif. You can use Gruyere cheese instead of Comte cheese.

Time 50m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
9 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pinches salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 ¾ cups freshly grated Comte cheese, divided
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1 cup water, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook until butter has melted, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour all at once and mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms. Return saucepan to low heat; briefly cook and stir until dough pulls away from the pan and starts to dry out, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 1 minute.
  • Beat eggs into the dough, 1 at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add 1 cup grated Comte cheese and season lightly with pepper.
  • Use 2 teaspoons to place small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  • Stir together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and brush onto the dough mounds. Sprinkle with the remaining Comte cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let gougeres cool in the oven with the door half-open.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gougeres turned out flat and greasy. They were still edible, but they weren't very pretty.

These were the best gougeres I've ever had! I will definitely be making them again.

These gougeres were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I was disappointed with these gougeres. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gougeres didn't turn out as light and airy as I expected. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

These were delicious! I used gruyere cheese instead of comte, and they were still amazing.

I've made these gougeres several times now, and they always turn out perfectly. They're a great appetizer or snack, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These gougeres were a hit at my last party! They were so light and airy, and the comte cheese gave them a delicious nutty flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
