CLASSIC GOUGèRES



Classic Gougères image

These classic gougères are cheesier than many others, with a crunchy, salty crust from a sprinkling of Parmesan just before baking. Take care to serve these straight from the oven when they are still hot and a little gooey in the center. If you want to make these ahead, you can freeze them after forming them into balls, but before baking (it's easiest to freeze them directly on the baking sheet if you've got the freezer space). Then bake them while still frozen, adding a few minutes onto the baking time.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, finger foods, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 5 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons/57 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup/136 grams bread flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature
5 ounces/142 grams shredded Gruyère
1/3 cup/50 grams grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees, and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water, butter, salt and cayenne to a boil. Stir in flour all at once and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until dough pulls away from the sides of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Scrape dough into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with a paddle until cooled slightly, about 30 seconds. (Or you can do this with a wooden spoon if you beat vigorously.) Add one egg at a time, letting each one incorporate before adding the next. Mix in Gruyère and continue to beat until it is mostly melted into batter.
  • Transfer batter to a large, sealable plastic bag, and snip off 3/4 inch from one corner. Pipe 2-teaspoon-sized balls, spaced 1-inch apart, onto baking sheets. Or use a spoon to form the balls. Sprinkle Parmesan on top, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly then serve immediately.

HAM, CHEESE & MUSHROOM TURNOVERS



Ham, cheese & mushroom turnovers image

A puff pastry turnover is always a good way of using leftovers - adapt the recipe to whatever cheese you've got

Provided by Good Food team

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

250ml milk
1 tbsp each butter and flour, mixed to a paste, plus extra for dusting
140g button mushroom , cut into quarters
1 tbsp olive oil
140g ham , chopped into small pieces
85g leftover cheese (amount will vary according to type - go with your taste buds), cut into small pieces
1 tbsp chopped herbs - tarragon, parsley and chives all work well
500g block puff pastry
1 egg , beaten

Steps:

  • The first thing to do is to make a thick white sauce that will be the base of the turnover filling. Bring the milk to a simmer, then add the butter and flour paste. Whisk the paste into the simmering milk and allow it to boil for 3-4 mins, whisking gently all the time to prevent it from catching. You should now have a very thick white sauce. Cool the sauce in a bowl. Fry the mushrooms in the oil for 3-5 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
  • Place the ham, cheese and mushrooms into a bowl, then gradually add the white sauce until everything is well coated. Finally, add the herbs.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 4 saucer-size rounds (about 18cm wide), re-rolling the trimmings if you need to. Brush the edges of each round with beaten egg. Spoon the mixture onto 1 side of each round, then fold over and seal the edges well. The turnovers can now be frozen for up to 1 month. Brush the turnover with the remaining egg, then chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm.

GOURGERE WITH MUSHROOMS AND HAM



GOURGERE WITH MUSHROOMS AND HAM image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Brunch     Bake

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablesppons butter
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
11/2 tablespoons flour
1 teasppoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon instant chicken broth or one cube
1 cup hot water
2 cups tomato strips, about 2 large tomatoes
2-3 cups cooked ham strips or salmon, or whatever
1 cup sifted flour
pinch of salt and pepper
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cut up
4 large egss
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons for top

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Saute onion until soft, but not browned. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for 2 minutes longer. Add chicken broth and water: mix well. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for 4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Add tomato strips and ham strips. Set aside. To make the pate a choux, heat water and butter in a large saucepan until the butter melts. Bring water to a boil, add flour, salt and pepper all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball in center of pan, about one minute. Allow mixture to cool for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. This beating is important or gougere will not puff. Stir in grated cheese. I suppose a cuisinart would make quick work of this! Butter an 11 or 12 inch ovenproof skillet or shallow baking dish. Spoon the pate a choux in a ring around the ege, leaving the center open. Pour the ham, tomato and mushroom filling into the center and sprinkle with remainint 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 debrees for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the gougere is puffed and brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve at once. Note: great wtih fresh fruit and pecan rolls.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your gougères. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together and then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes it easier to handle.
  • Bake the Gougères Until They're Golden Brown: The gougères should be golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Overbaking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the Gougères Warm: Gougères are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven.

Conclusion:

Gougères are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're quick and easy to make, and they can be filled with a variety of different ingredients. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give gougères a try!
