Recipe - Gougere

8 tablespoon Butter
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 cup Flour
4 Eggs
1 cup Gruyere cheese coarsely
chopped
1 tablespoon Parsley chopped
1 tablespoon Dill chopped
1 tablespoon Chives chopped
1 cup Water

1.In a saucepan, combine the butter, salt and one cup water. Bring to a
boil. Off the heat, add the flour all at once and beat well with a wooden
spoon until the flour is incorporated. Return the saucepan to moderate heat
and cook until the dough becomes quite stiff and pulls away from the sides
of the pan. 2. Remove from the heat and beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Stir in 2/3 cup of the cheese and all the chopped herbs. 3. Preheat the
oven to 425F. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet
to make individual puffs or drop the dough by tablespoons to form a ring.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed
and golden brown. Serve warm.
