Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups grated Gruyère
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/2 cup pancetta, sautéed and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
Recipe:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat wine, water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium-high heat, until butter is completely melted.
- Remove from the heat and add cup of flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed for 60 seconds, to cool down.
- Then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add grated cheeses, pancetta, and chives.
- Place rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each, as they will expand during baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the gougères are golden brown and cooked through to puffy perfection. (The one time we embrace the puffiness!)
