🧅🥕INGREDIENTS🥕🧅
250 ml /1 cup water
80 grams /2.8oz plain butter
3 whole eggs (medium size) 4 eggs if you use small ones
125 grams 4.4 oz all purpose flour (sifted)
a pinch of salt and pepper
A grating of nutmeg
100 grams /3.5 grated cheese (comte, gruyere, or cheddar cheese)
For the topping:
Egg wash: which is one egg beaten with a tablespoon of water (optional)
50 grams grated or in small cubes
Note: this recipe can be improved by replacing the water by milk and by brushing the choux puffs with egg wash before adding the cheese on top.
Do not pipe the choux too small, the right size is about a tablespoon worth of choux pastry.
Finally the amount of eggs can very slightly so always have an extra eggs beaten at the ready in case you need to add just a bit extra egg to get the right consistency for the choux pastry.
