Cheddar Gougeres
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.
YIELD: 3 dozen.
Gougeres-French cheesy cream puffs-are usually made with Gruyere cheese but I often substitute with the sharpest cheddar I can find for bolder flavor. Make this recipe your own with the cheese of your choice. —Bridget M. Klusman, Otsego, Michigan
