Olive And Cheese Gougeres - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tbsp butter, chopped
1/2 cup flour
3 None eggs
5 oz Gruyere cheese, grated
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. Grease and line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
Place the butter and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil. Add flour; beat with a wooden spoon until mixture comes away from bottom of pan. Transfer to a medium bowl. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Whisk remaining egg with a fork; beat enough of the egg into the pastry that it becomes smooth and glossy, but still holds its shape.
Beat in the cheese, olives and some freshly ground black pepper. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared pans.
Bake for 10-15 mins, until puffed and lightly golden. Reduce oven temperature to 350\u00b0F. Bake for 10-15 mins, until risen and golden. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
