- 2 cups shredded Comte or Gruyere cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- Stir in the 5 eggs 1 at a time until completely mixed in.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of cheese and nutmeg until combined.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large tip and pipe out 2-3 tablespoons of the dough at a time that is placed about 2” apart from one another on cookie sheet trays lined with parchment paper until all the dough has been used.
- Evenly brush each of the individual piped out dough with the yolk and water mixture.
- Top off each dough with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese.

Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Reheat: Place them in a baking dish covered in foil and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until softened and warm. You can also heat them on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave until soft and warm.
- How to Store: Cover them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- They also freeze well covered in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.

- These are best served warm but can still be enjoyed cool or at room temperature.
- Instead of using a spoon, you can also use a whisk when making the dough.
