Mushroom Gougere Recipes

Steps:

• Make the choux pastry:.
• Sift the flour with a pinch of salt. Put the measured water and butter into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and add the flour. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and glossy and leaves the side of the pan clean. Leave it to cool slightly.
• Beat the eggs and cheese, if using, into the flour mixture until it's smooth and glossy. Make the gougere by buttering a large shallow ovenproof dish and lightly pressing the choux pastry around the edge, leaving a hole in the middle. Cover and chill while preparing the filling.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the mushrooms, and cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually blend in the milk. Bring to a boil, stirring until the mixture thickens. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan and add the tarragon, salt and pepper to taste. Pour into the middle of the choux ring and bake in a 425*F. oven for 35-40 minutes, until well risen and golden. Garnish with tarragon, and serve hot. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees, and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water, butter, salt and cayenne to a boil. Stir in flour all at once and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until dough pulls away from the sides of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Scrape dough into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with a paddle until cooled slightly, about 30 seconds. (Or you can do this with a wooden spoon if you beat vigorously.) Add one egg at a time, letting each one incorporate before adding the next. Mix in Gruyère and continue to beat until it is mostly melted into batter.
• Transfer batter to a large, sealable plastic bag, and snip off 3/4 inch from one corner. Pipe 2-teaspoon-sized balls, spaced 1-inch apart, onto baking sheets. Or use a spoon to form the balls. Sprinkle Parmesan on top, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake until golden and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly then serve immediately.
