Gougères - Savoury Cheese Puffs

Making gougère [goozhair] is pretty much like making cream puffs as I just discovered :)) I can't make them puff up nicely though :P but I will not give up..I will definitely make this again for they tasted good...all cheesy and herby as Piggy gal termed it :)

Gougères can be made as small, finger-sized pastries, or filled with ingredients such as mushrooms, beef, or ham. In the latter case, the gougère is usually made using a ring or pie tin. Traditionally, gougères are made with Gruyère, but other cheeses are sometimes used. Gougère is a specialty of the Burgundy region.

Anything savoury would be nice and one can really eat a lot…like someone , I don’t need to introduce :P She likes to nibble away while watching the idiot box or studying..heehee so this Momsie will have to think of what to bake as nibbles for her and I happened to see this recipe from Dorie’s blog and really , the temptation was too great , I had to try it out….anything cheesy will be welcomed by the Piggy clan.

Strange, I am most happy when I am baking :))) the aroma of baked puffs coming from the oven was so good that Piggy gal can’t wait to savor those cheesey puffs! The cheddar cheese gave the puffs the oomph and I added some chopped chives into the dough though the recipe doesn't call for it :P ….wow…..it was fantastic, the combination was good . Once you start eating it, you won’t know when to stop :P

This is good for parties…..easy and fun to make finger food. Délicieux !!!

The dough was slightly watery :(

I may have measured the milk more I guessed ;)

Never judge the appearance..this gougère

you can fill it with ingredients such as
