Cheese Puffs Recipe (Gougeres)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Boil

Add the butter, water, sugar, and salt to a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until the salt and sugar are melted. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Stir

Add in the flour and stir until it forms a ball. Continue to stir until the ball becomes smooth and there is a film on the bottom of the pan.

Spread

Remove from the heat and spread the mixture out on the bottom of the pan. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until fully incorporated before adding the next egg. Stir until the dough is smooth. Before the last egg is fully combined, add in both cheeses and stir.

Scoop

Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking pans, leaving 2 inches between each puff.

Brush

Whisk together the egg and water. Gently brush each puff and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Lower the oven to 350°F bake for 15-20 more minutes until golden brown.
