Gougeres, irresistible little cheese puffs in 20 minutes

Gougeres, the French version of the most irresistible little cheese puffs!

Then there are the days when you want some bite sized savoury delights to accompany a drink. Of course, you can run to the nearest store and pick up a pack of ready made ones. Or you can try out something new and interesting. Which is just what I did.

Gougeres are the French version of little cheese puffs, usually served as an appetizer with wine or cocktails. They are really easy as well as quick to make. I tried them out last evening and was quite pleased with the way they turned out, fist time around.

 Method-All you need to do is to whip up an egg and cheese batter, pipe it onto a baking sheet, and bake the gougeres until they are puffed and golden. 

I timed it for 20 minutes and my oven was pre heated to 120 degrees C.Sure enough, 20 mins later, they were done.

These  little pastries fill the kitchen with a fantastic aroma and are best eaten straight out of the oven. Try keeping them any longer and even the strongest resolve will break down- sooner rather than later!
