Perfect timing — the chives are just coming up in my garden, and it’s been years since I made gougeres, so I’m bookmarking.

Absolutely beautiful Allen! I love your suggestion of salmon mousse inside. And two types of cheese makes it so decadent.

I’ve never made choux pastry, but you’ve inspired me, thanks! :)

Those look awesome! I’ve had mixed results when trying to make gougeres and cream puffs, I should try it again soon.

MJ – I really hope to pick it up again. I was taught by a Flemish guy, and it was a lot of fun, especially with food, beer and for money.

Thanks for all of the kind comments – these gougeres were delicious.

I forgot about the ones I placed in the freezer last night and just bagged them up for future use. I formed them in a tray on a piece of parchment paper, then placed in the freezer until frozen solid. Place the frozen blobs into a bag for future use!

Allen, these look just perfect! I’ve made Gougeres before and they are one of my favorite snacks. I love the ziploc trick too. My dad passed that tip onto me and it’s a quick and easy solution for a handy pastry bag.

Allen very interesting and informative post!

The gougers looks so airy and cheesy, literally :)

They must taste divine; remember a similar “snack” the “pan de queso in Spanish” or bread-cheese, when I eat them in breakfasts.

Cheers!
