Directions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 425F. Bring the water, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally. Turn heat to medium-low, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot and forms a smooth, pasty ball. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute after dough has smoothed out.

STEP 2

Transfer dough ball to the bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition, and scraping the bowl well. Batter will appear lumpy at first, but will smooth out after a minute or two. Add the grated cheese and chives and mix until combined.

STEP 3

Drop the dough by the tablespoonful on a baking sheet, at least 2” apart. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375F and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Farm Team Tips:

For an all-american twist, substitute a sharp cheddar cheese for the asiago.

Hi! Can I make the dough one or more days before baking the gougères? Thank you.

While we haven't tried this ourselves, we think it may alter the consistency of the dough. We don't recommend it for this recipe.

Could you make these without a stand mixer?

Hi Joy! For this particular recipe we would not recommend making it without a stand mixer. A hand mixer can work if you have one. If you're not using a mixer, we think you will have a different texture and may not see as nice of a rise, and it will take significantly longer to mix by hand as well and it may be hard to incorporate all the liquid into the paste.

Hi Diane, we can't guarantee that the texture will be quite the same, but you can definitely try using a gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour in the recipe. King Arthur Flour's Measure for Measure mix is a great choice, but anything similar should work. Good luck!
