Sage & Gorgonzola Gougeres (Cheese Puffs)
- 1/2 cups Water
- 3 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cups Flour
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Minced Fresh Sage
- 1/4 cups Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the water, butter, and salt.
- Do not boil the mixture.
- Once the butter melts, stir in the flour.
- Stir quickly until the mixture binds together.
- Continue to stir for another minute, while the pot sits on the heat.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Stir in 2 eggs, one at a time.
- Ensure that the first egg is fully combined into the mixture before adding the second egg.
- Add the minced sage and crumbled Gorgonzola.
- Stir to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- You can either spoon or pipe the dough onto the parchment paper.
- If you decide to pipe it, use a 1/2-inch plain tip or just use a coupler.
- Each gougere should be 1 to 2 inches in diameter, and they should be spaced 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake, without opening the door, for 10 minutes and then lower the temperature to 375 degrees F for another 15 minutes, or until the gougeres are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Pierce each gougere with a small, sharp knife to release the steam, which will stop them from becoming soft.
- Serve immediately.
- If the gougeres lose their crispness while sitting, reheat them in a 375 degree F oven for 3 minutes.
- Makes 15-18 large or 35-40 small gougeres.
