Comté Cheese Gougères

Ingredients:

250 ml water

80 g butter

150 g flour

4 eggs

120 g grated Comté cheese

Nutmeg

Salt, pepper

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and a pinch of salt to a boil.

Remove from the heat, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms.

Return to low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to dry the dough slightly.

Off the heat, incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.

Add the grated Comté cheese, a pinch of nutmeg, and pepper.

Drop small mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the gougères are golden brown and puffed up. Serve warm as an appetizer.
