Gougeres

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. In a medium sized pot, melt the butter.
3. Add milk and bring to a boil.
4. Take the pot off of the heat. Add flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour and butter are combined.
5. Add four of the eggs, one at a time, stirring each with the wooden spoon until all four are incorporated.
6. Add 1½ cups of Parmesan cheese and salt. Fold together into the dough.
7. Spray a non-stick mini muffin pan or baking sheet with Pam.
8. Spoon a tablespoon of the dough into each muffin cup or baking sheet.
9. Scramble the remaining egg in a separate bowl. Brush each section with the egg-wash.
10. Sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan cheese as a topping.
11. Place in oven and cook for 25 minutes or until the puffs are a deep golden brown.
12. Remove puffs from the mini muffin pan or baking sheet and serve.
13. Note: You can make these an hour in advance. Remove them from the mini muffin tin and reheat in a 350° oven for 5 minutes. I have also used a cupcake pan which works well
