Cheese Puffs (Gougeres)

Preheat oven to 400F. Combine water, milk, salt, butter, and cayenne in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Take pan off heat and add flour. Beat with a wooden spoon until blended. Place pan back on medium heat and mix vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove contents of pan to the bowl of a stand mixer and let cool for 2 minutes.

Beat in eggs one at a time on medium speed. Add gruyere and beat until completely blended.

Using a small cookie scoop, spoon dollops of dough onto a silicone cookie sheet. Grate parmesan cheese on top, pressing in gently.

Bake for 18 minutes or until puffs have doubled in size and are golden brown. Makes 36 puffs.
