Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 teaspoon truffle oil
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is boiling.
- 3Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 2 minutes.
- 4Remove the pan from heat and let it cool for a minute. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- 5Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, truffle oil, black pepper, and nutmeg until fully incorporated.
- 6Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- 7In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the dough mounds with the egg wash.
- 8Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the gougères are puffed up and golden brown.
- 9Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
