Ingredients

1 cup water
8 tbsp butter, cut in 1 cm pieces
1 cup flour
¼ tsp salt
4 large eggs
1 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
1 ½ cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
⅛ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

Preheat oven to 190°C and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a rapid, rolling boil. Make sure all the butter is melted then add flour. Stir the mixture for 20-30 seconds, until a sticky dough ball forms and begins pulling away from the sides of the pan. Reduce heat to low-medium heat and cook, stirring, for 90 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, along with cheeses and SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Place heaped teaspoons onto prepared baking sheets 2 cm apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, for 25-30 minutes. The gougeres are done when they are a deep golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately.
