8 ingredients

4 steps

Ingredients

1 cup water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 1/2 thin slices deli ham, finely chopped

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture boils, remove from heat and pour in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour in a single motion. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until well combined. Stir in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until a smooth, sticky paste forms. Mix Gruyere cheese and ham into the dough until well combined.
3

Drop large tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between each dollop, as gougeres will rise during baking.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffed up, about 20 minutes. Transfer gougeres to a plate and allow to cool.
