Dorie tweeted about her gougeres and I needed a dish for lunch, so I made these. Gougeres are choux pastry balls flavoured with cheese. They are easy to make and definitely moreish – perhaps a little too much so. Mine were flavoured with a sharp pecorino, but next time I’m going to try them with blue cheese (I can hear Jane and Christina moaning from here). These light morsels browned beautifully in the oven and cooked through, leaving a hollow centre, which could probably have been filled with something savoury (I didn’t get a chance to try anything before they were all eaten).
The recipe is here and I hope these photos will inspire you to give them a go!
Fig Jam and Lime Cordial 
They look absolutely perfect! And yes, they would be terrific filled with something savo(u)ry.
Thanks for the foolproof recipe, Dorie. I still can’t believe how fast they were eaten. Our 16 year old neighbo(u)r ate more than a dozen of them on his own!
you’re right Celia… I’m MOANING.
Your blog is more amazing and impressive by the day. I love it. xx
