Hello #foodlovers ! Today I want to share with you a simple but ULTRA delicious French recipe that will surely delight your hosts whoever they are. My delicious gougères … Small tender patties with a taste of cheese … who would not like that? And then with those days that are getting shorter and this cold coming back, a good gougère, still hot coming out of the oven will probably warm your heart, don’t you think ? In any case, I can tell you one thing: when I baked them about 10 days ago for my darling and his Swedish friends, they would all have killed to have one more plate ready in the oven! They just loved them ! So, not a word more, here is my French gougères recipe !

My French gougères recipe

4 eggs

150 g of flour

150 of shredded cheese (ideally French gruyère)

80 g of butter

Salt, pepper

1 pinch of nutmeg

Preparation

1. Make 25cl of water boil in a saucepan, with the butter cut into pieces + 1/2 teaspoon of salt
2. Remove from heat and add the flour at once. Mix well.
3. Let cool a few moments and incorporate the eggs one by one mixing well.
4. Add the shredded gruyere, the nutmeg and some pepper.
5. Place the mixture with two teaspoons, forming separate small piles, on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
