CHEDDAR-WALNUT GOUGèRES



Cheddar-Walnut Gougères image

Gougères, small cheese puffs made from the same neither-sweet-nor-savory dough you'd use for cream puffs or éclairs, are my favorite pre-dinner nibble with wine. They're slightly crusty on the outside, custardy on the inside and, because I add mustard and chopped nuts, surprising. The traditional cheese for these is French Comté or Swiss Gruyère, but lately I've been using shredded sharp American Cheddar, which makes them a tad more tender and gives them a little edge, nice in a morsel that's meant to whet your appetite. I like these a few minutes out of the oven, but room temperature puffs have legions of fans as well. It's good to know that raw puffs freeze perfectly (pack them into an airtight container as soon as they're solidly frozen) and bake perfectly from the freezer. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet and leave them on the counter while you preheat the oven.

Time 1h

Yield About 55 gougères

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 4 chunks
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk (or water)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature, plus 1 large egg white, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups/150 grams loosely packed shredded sharp Cheddar (or a mix of Comté, Gruyère, Swiss, Jack or other semifirm cheeses)
2/3 cup/80 grams lightly toasted finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the butter, milk, salt and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add the flour all at once, set heat to medium-low and stir without stopping until the mixture pulls away from the pan easily and comes together in a ball. Keep stirring energetically for 3 minutes more; the drier the dough, the better the gougères. Scrape the dough into a mixer with a paddle attachment (or into a large bowl, if you're mixing by hand), and let sit for 1 minute.
  • With the mixer at medium speed, add the 4 eggs one by one, and beat for 1 minute after each goes in, scraping the bowl as needed. As you're working, the dough may break into curds; just keep going - it's always fine once the egg white goes in.
  • Beat in the egg white, then the mustard. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and blend in the cheese followed by the nuts. Give the dough a few good beats with a sturdy spatula.
  • Working with a small cookie scoop or 2 spoons, scoop balls, each about 2 teaspoons, onto the sheets, leaving an inch between each. (Gougères are excellent baked from frozen. They can be frozen at this point; set them in an airtight container once frozen solid.)
  • Working with one baking sheet of fresh gougères at a time, slide the gougères into the oven and turn the heat down to 375. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the gougères are puffed, golden and firm enough to pick up. (If baking frozen gougères, arrange them on a lined baking sheet, and leave at room temperature while you heat the oven. You may need to bake them a couple minutes more, so keep an eye on them.) Serve immediately. Baked gougères can also be reheated briefly in a 350-degree oven.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: This will make the dip taste the best and ensure a creamy texture.
  • Don't Overload the Dip: When adding ingredients, like garlic and walnuts, be sure not to add too much as this can overpower the other flavors.
  • Be Patient: Cooking the dip slowly over low heat will help the flavors meld together and create a rich, creamy texture.
  • Serve with a Variety of Dippers: This will allow your guests to choose their favorite dippers and enjoy the dip in different ways.
  • Make Ahead: This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Garlic and cheddar dip with walnuts is a classic party appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Plus, it can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. Serve it with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, or vegetables, and enjoy!
