Gougeres with Cheese and Scallions
Gougeres with cheese and scallions are light, airy French savory pastries made from choux dough enriched with shredded white and medium cheddar cheeses plus minced scallions. Baking develops a golden, crisp exterior and hollow interior that is tender and cheesy. These small, oval-shaped puffs are baked until puffed and golden, making them a flavorful snack or appetizer with a delicate balance of cheesy richness and fresh scallion brightness.
