Denis TonerS Gougères
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup, plus 1 tablespoon grated gruyere cheese
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
- 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the water, butter and salt. When the butter has melted, add the flour. Stir in very quickly. When a ball forms in a few seconds, remove from the heat. Immediately begin to add four of the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one thoroughly before adding the next, reserving 1 egg for later. Fold in the cup of gruyere.
- 3. Line a half sheet or jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Use a small round scoop to drop the dough onto the pan, about one inch apart. Whisk the remaining egg with a few drops of water. Use a pastry brush to paint the tops of each gougere. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoons of grated gruyere over each gougere. A few strands over each one is sufficient. Bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes.
- 4. Serve immediately, or at room temperature, with a glass of good red wine.
- These are best eaten the same day they are made.
