Ingredients
½ cup water3 tbsp butter, salted½ cup all purpose flour, siftedPinch dry mustardPinch nutmegPinch chipotle chili pepper2 large eggs75 g California Walnut crumbs2 tbsp minced chives200 g Extra-old Cheddar, finely grated
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a medium sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add cup of water and butter and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and add flour, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne, stirring constantly to cook the paste, about 3 minutes.
Remove paste from heat and transfer mixture into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Mixing on medium-low speed, add eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gently fold in walnuts, chives and cheese by hand.
Scoop mixture into a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe small bite sized mounds 1-inch apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Optional: at this point, you can freeze gougères, transfer to a zip-top bag and bake as needed: preheat your oven to 400°F degrees, place frozen gougères 2” apart on lines sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 15 minutes.
If baking from fresh: bake in the centre oven rack for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake a further 12 minutes, until golden brown.
