Blue Cheese Gougeres
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001

Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 pound blue cheese, or other creamy blue cheese

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet

with parchment paper.

In a large saucepan, combine the milk, butter, salt, black pepper, and Essence
over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Add the flour,
and stir constantly with a large wooden spoon to incorporate, about 1 minute.
Return to medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove
from the heat and add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
the cheese and beat until mixed well and a slightly soft dough forms.

Drop the dough by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then
reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake until golden brown, about 20 to
25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or at room temperature.
