These are not difficult to make, but you do need a strong arm for all of the beating by hand…it’s worth every minute, though. They're like little miniature cheesy pop-overs that melt in your mouth. You definitely can’t eat just one! Read more Gougeres is pronounced goo-zhairs. See less
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter (margarine will not work in this recipe) shopping list

Absolutely a favorite recipe. I add some crab meat and a some Colman's dry mustard for great appetizer puffs.
