Gré-des-Champs Gougères (Savoury Choux Pastry with Cheese)
Ингредиенты
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) butter
- 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup (250 ml) Gré-des-Champs cheese, grated (see note)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
Инструкция
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190° C (375 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the flour all at once. Return to the heat and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- With two spoons, form 24 balls of dough of about 15 ml (1 tablespoon) each and place on the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, beat the egg and add the milk. Brush each dough ball with this mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the gougères are golden brown.
- While baking the first gougère batch, prepare a second baking sheet to bake continuously and save time.
- Keep the gougères at room temperature to serve them the same day, or placed in the freezer to serve later. Thaw at room temperature. Reheat in the oven before serving.
