Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

¨ 5 Tbsp butter
¨ 1 tsp salt
¨ ¼ tsp black pepper
¨ ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¨ 1 cup all-purpose flour
¨ 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (Order)
¨ 5 eggs, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 425º. In a saucepan, add butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to 1
cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low when
butter melts. Add flour all at once to mixture and cook over low heat, beating
with a wooden spoon until mixture pulls away from sides of pan, about 1 mn.
Remove from heat. Add cheese to pan and beat with spoon until well
incorporated. Add 4 of the eggs, one at a time, beating each egg into the batter
until thoroughly absorbed. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth, shiny,
and firm. On a lightly greased cookie sheet, drop batter in small spoonfuls (or
pipe with a pastry bag) to form the Gougères. Beat remaining egg with ½ Tbsp
water then brush tops of uncooked Gougères with egg wash. Bake in upper third
of oven for 15-20 minutes or until the Gougères are golden and doubled in size.
Remove from oven and serve hot, or allow cooling at room temperature. Makes
about 36 Gougères. Serve as a snack, a hors d?oeuvre, or an accompaniment to a
first course.
