Gougere Recipe – Eats Now

Name: Gougere
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 c. water; 1/4 lb. butter, cut into small bits; 1/4 tsp. salt; 1 c. flour; 4 eggs (5 if small); 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard; 1/4 tsp. Dusseldorf mustard or 1/2 tsp. dry mustard; 1 tsp. salt; good dash of cayenne; 1 1/2 c. grated Swiss cheese (reserve 1/4 c. for garnish)

Servings: persons

1
Stir the above ingredients thoroughly into the dough.
2
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange rounded tablespoonfuls of the choux in a complete circle; you may want to make 8-inch in diameter circle to guide you.
3
Make sure that each mound touches the next. When you have completed the circle, make a second layer by placing rounder teaspoonfuls on top and in between each of the larger mounds.
4
With a pastry brush, paint the top of the gougere with one egg, mixed with 2 tablespoons cream, taking care that the egg does not drip down the side and adhere to the baking sheet (this would inhibit the puffing).
5
Sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese.
6
Refrigerate at this point.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
