Gougères
Light choux puffs flavored with grated cheese.
Say it: goo-ZHAIR (approximate English pronunciation)
Gougères use choux pastry to create hollow, airy cheese puffs. A firm grated cheese such as Gruyère flavors the dough, with other cheeses producing variations. They are often served as small bites rather than a full meal. Unlike an éclair or profiterole, a plain gougère is savory and may have no separate filling at all.
