Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup cooked and finely chopped bacon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or rosemary)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup water, the butter and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium and add the flour all at once. Stir rapidly with a wooden spoon; the mixture will form a dough ball that will pull away from the sides of the pan. Continue to cook for a couple minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for a couple of minutes. Stir so that the dough cools more evenly; you want the dough to be warm, but not so hot that when you start adding the eggs they cook as they hit the dough. In a mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon, add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition until the eggs are incorporated. The dough should become rather creamy. Stir in the grated cheese, bacon, thyme and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Spoon out small balls (about a heaping tablespoon) of the dough onto the baking sheet, with at least an inch separating the spoonfuls. Cook for 10 minutes; lower the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until puffed up and lightly golden, another 15 to 20 minutes.

Easy and delicious! I made these for a brunch party and they were a huge success. The gougeres were light and airy, with a cheesy interior and a crispy bacon topping.

Not bad, but not great. The gougeres were a bit dry and the cheese flavor was a bit bland.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

So good! The gougeres were light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The cheese and bacon flavors were perfect together.

Gougeres were delicious! I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the dough for a little kick. They were a big hit at my potluck.

Not a fan of the cheese flavor in these gougeres. Maybe next time I'll try a different type of cheese.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a mini muffin pan and they were the perfect size for a party appetizer.

Followed the recipe to a T and my gougeres came out perfect. The cheese was melted and gooey, the bacon was crispy, and the pastry was light and airy. A real crowd-pleaser!

Gougeres were a little dry. I think I needed to add more milk or butter to the dough. Otherwise, the flavor was great!

These gougeres were so good! The cheese and bacon flavors were perfectly balanced. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit.
