Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil over medium heat. Make sure the butter is completely melted.
- Add the flour to the saucepan all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. The dough should become smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Using a spoon or a pastry bag, drop small mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking tray. Leave some space between each one.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the gougeres are golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Notes:
- Gougeres are best served fresh from the oven when they are warm and puffy.
- You can customise the flavour by adding herbs, spices, or different types of cheese to the dough.
