Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoon dried cranberries
6 tablespoons 3 ounces unsalted butter (6 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
5 l large eggs
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Turn on food processor and finely chop cranberries by dropping them in through feed tube. Remove cranberries, but don't bother cleaning bits clinging to the bowl. (Cranberries can also be chopped by hand.)
  • Place 1 cup water in a 2-quart saucepan. Add butter and salt, bring to a simmer and cook just until butter melts. Remove from heat, add flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Return saucepan to medium heat and cook dough, stirring, about a minute. Transfer dough to food processor.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Turn on food processor and add 1 egg to the dough. As soon as it's completely incorporated, add another, and continue adding eggs 1 at a time until you have used 4. Add chopped cranberries and Cheddar and pulse to blend. (This step can be done by hand, but it's a lot more work.)
  • Line 1 large or 2 smaller baking sheets with parchment. Drop teaspoons of batter, in mounds about 1 inch across, on baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. Beat remaining egg. Brush tops of mounds with egg, taking care not to let any drip down the sides.
  • Bake 15 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until well browned. Shut off oven, open oven door a few inches and leave gougères another 15 minutes before removing them. When completely cooled, the gougères can be transferred to a heavy plastic bag and frozen. Reheat them for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these gougères. The cheese and cranberries were a great combination.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and gruyère cheese, and they were so flavorful.

These were a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll try using less cheese next time.
