Servings: persons

4 tablespoons butter
4 1/2 cups sliced mixed mushrooms (shitake, white, oyster, etc.)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
tarragon leaf, to garnish
Choux Pastry
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cups water
4 tablespoons butter (plus extra for greasing)
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded (or 1/2 cup Parmesan)

1
Make the choux pastry:
2
Sift the flour with a pinch of salt. Put the measured water and butter into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
3
Remove from the heat and add the flour. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and glossy and leaves the side of the pan clean. Leave it to cool slightly.
4
Beat the eggs and cheese, if using, into the flour mixture until it's smooth and glossy. Make the gougere by buttering a large shallow ovenproof dish and lightly pressing the choux pastry around the edge, leaving a hole in the middle. Cover and chill while preparing the filling.
5
Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the mushrooms, and cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually blend in the milk. Bring to a boil, stirring until the mixture thickens. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
6
Return the mushrooms to the pan and add the tarragon, salt and pepper to taste. Pour into the middle of the choux ring and bake in a 425*F. oven for 35-40 minutes, until well risen and golden. Garnish with tarragon, and serve hot. Enjoy!
