1 cup grated good quality Swiss cheese, like Gruyère
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, slight coarse ground
¼ cup chives, snipped
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease or line with parchment two baking sheets. Mix
together flour, nutmeg and salt. In a medium saucepan, add water and butter. Bring
to a rapid boil. Remove from heat and add in the flour mixture all at once. Beat
forcefully with a wooden spoon (or use a food processor) until the flour and water
form a dough ball. Continue to beat for about a half minute to slightly dry the mix-
ture out. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating each until incorporated. Add in the
cheese, pepper and the chives. Using two tablespoons, drop a small mound of
dough onto the baking sheet. Repeat, leaving about a one-inch space between the
dough mounds. Bake until the dough is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes.
Make sure you open a good bottle of French champagne right before you serve
these hot. Makes about 40 gougères.
