Ham and Gruyere Thumbprints Recipe image

Provided by Kitchenbee

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into large pieces
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped or ground Black Forest ham (2 ounces)
1 cup finely shredded Gruyere cheese, plus 36 cubes (1/2 inch) for centers (8 ounces total)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring butter, salt, and the water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add flour; stir vigorously until incorporated. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture pulls away from sides of pan and a thin film forms on bottom of pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 2 minutes. Transfer dough to a large bowl; add eggs 1 at a time, beating with a wooden spoon to incorporate each before adding the next, about 2 minutes. Stir in pepper, ham, and shredded cheese. Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. On baking sheets lined with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper, pipe rosettes (each 1 1/2 inches wide), 2 inches apart. Make a deep indentation at the center of each with your thumb (dampen thumb to keep it from sticking to dough). Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven; press a cheese cube in each indentation. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my thumbprints turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

Overall, I thought these thumbprints were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These thumbprints were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I found these thumbprints to be a bit bland. I think they could use more seasoning.

These thumbprints were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious these thumbprints were. I'm not usually a fan of ham and cheese, but these were really tasty.
