Ingredients
1 cup water
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into several pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated
Directions
- Combine water, butter and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove pan from heat. Add flour. Stir vigorously until mixture comes together and resembles mashed potatoes.
- Return pan to low heat. Stir for 3 to 5 minutes to dry out the dough. The dough is ready when it is shiny and thick and the spoon stands upright in the dough.
- Transfer dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute until dough is just warm to the touch. Continue beating; add eggs, one at a time. Let each egg incorporate completely before adding the next one. The dough should come together in a very smooth, creamy batter. Beat in the cheese.
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Spoon dough into a piping bag fitted with a large tip, or scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Space them 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350° F. Bake for 20 to 25 more minutes. The finished cheese puffs will be puffed, deep golden-brown and dry to the touch. They will also feel light and hollow when picked up. Serve warm or room temperature.
