Ingredients

1/2 c whole milk
1/2 c water
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 c all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 c coarsely grated Gruyère cheese
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp kosher salt
Pinch of black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cut the butter into small pieces and put in a saucepan with milk, water, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil.

Add all of the flour at once, reduce heat, and stir with a wooden spoon. After about 2 minutes, the dough will start drying out and pulling away from the pan. That’s precisely what you want. This will make your gougères crispy on the outside.

Scrape the dough into a mixing bowl and let cool for a couple of minutes.

Add eggs one at a time and beat them into the dough.

Once the dough is mixed well, add cheese, Dijon mustard, black pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper, and mix again.

Transfer the dough into a pastry bag with a 1/2” round tip and pipe tablespoon mounds two inches apart on the baking sheets. You can also use a spoon or a cookie scoop instead.

Bake for about 25 minutes until they’re nicely puffed up and golden brown. Gougères Gruyère are best served warm. Enjoy!
