Recipe Description

These Cheesy Mushroom Gougeres are a fantastic snack. A gougere is a French baked savory pastry made of choux dough mixed with cheese. These delicious mushroom cheese puffs make the best party food!

Start by sauteing mushrooms. Make a warm dough by combining water, milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add the flour. Stir quickly until a dough ball forms. Remove the dough from the heat and transfer to a stand mixer. Let cool before mixing in eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Add cheese, mushroom mixture and mix until combined. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking sheets. Bake until golden brown and serve warm.
