Gougeres

These were so easy to make–thanks Silver Palate cookbook! Bring a cup of milk, teaspoon of salt and a stick of butter to a boil. Turn off the heat and then add a cup of flour. Whisk vigorously and return the pan to medium heat until batter has thickened (mine was somehow already thick so I skipped that part)

Add 4 eggs, one at a time, and mix in 1.5 cups of cheese. I chose cheddar, though I suppose a traditional gougere requires Chevre or Parmesan.

Spoon into one-inch balls on greased cookie sheet, brush 5th egg on top, bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. So fluffy, so cheesy, so good!
