Ingredients:

• 8 tbsp butter

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 cup flour

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated

• 1 ½ tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 ½ tbsp fresh dill, chopped

• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

• 1 cup water

Directions:

1. Make the Dough: In a saucepan, combine butter, salt, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately stir in the flour all at once. Use a wooden spoon to beat the mixture until the flour is fully incorporated.

2. Cook the Dough: Return the saucepan to moderate heat and continue cooking the dough, stirring constantly, until it becomes stiff and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Incorporate the Eggs: Remove the dough from the heat. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, parsley, dill, and chives until well combined.

4. Shape the Gougères: Transfer the dough to a piping bag or use two spoons to drop small mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the gougères for 25-30 minutes, or until they are puffed up, golden brown, and crispy on the outside.

6. Serve: Let the gougères cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy the cheesy, herby goodness!
