Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cups all purpose flour

- 1 Cup water

Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 425 Degrees Fahrenheit
- In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat

- Remove from heat and add the Gruyere cheese and bacon. Stir until combined and cheese melts
- Add the dough to the mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed for around 2 minutes or until the dough cools off
- Add the eggs one by one beating well after each addition
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats
- Use an ice cream scoop to shape the dough into balls. You can also shape them by hand
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of each ball
- Bake for around 20 minutes or until the Gougères are puffed up and golden
