Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter 1 stick
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 2 talks scallions cut into small rounds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, milk, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and water. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a ball and dries out slightly, about 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer the flour mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat it with the paddle attachment for 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated before adding the next. Once all the eggs are incorporated, stir in the cheese and scallions, mixing well.
- Drop the batter by a scant tablespoonful onto the baking sheets, leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) between them. Bake for 7 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking until the gougères are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately after removing from the oven, poke each puff once with a toothpick, sharp chopstick, or skewer to allow steam to escape. Serve immediately.

Notes
- If you use unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
