Ingredients:

1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter (gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup grated gluten-free Gruyere cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy.

Stir in the grated gluten-free Gruyere cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form bite-sized mounds.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the gougeres are puffed up and golden brown.

Optionally, garnish with fresh chives.

Serve the Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Gougeres warm as a delicious gluten-free appetizer (joc appetizer) at your next gathering. Enjoy!
