- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring until each egg is thoroughly mixed into the flour mixture.
- Then add 1 cup of the cheese and stir well to combine.
- 4.
- Put the dough into a piping bag with a large round tip (or use two spoons), and portion the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets into tablespoon sized mounds about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and bake the gougeres for 5 minutes then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and continue to bake until they are golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

- Notes:
- These are great snacks that can be prepared in advance.
- Just pipe the gougeres onto lined baking sheets freeze until firm enough to handle, then place them in a zipper bag and freeze.
- Cook as directed above, allowing a few more minutes of cook time.
- You can also bake them in advance, freeze them and warm them in a low oven when your guests arrive.
