I have recently discontinued the hot food and snack meal plan at my son’s pre-school because he just didn’t eat and completely wasted the food on a daily basis. As a result, I have been packing lunch box and snack for him every day. For his snacks, I have been baking simple breads and cheese puffs for him, for example: cheesy garlic bread, mini monkey bread, gougeres or French cheese puffs, Brazilian cheese bread, choux pastry, etc. All these snacks are so easy to make and I can make them in a jiffy without baking up a storm in the kitchen. More importantly, we love all those breads and puffs!
I have been remaking the regular gougeres recipe in my archive for a few times and little G seems to get bored of it. I have a recipe saved from Fine Cooking magazine from earlier this year on Bacon and Parmesan Gougeres. This past week, I decided to give the recipe a try. Little G loves bacon (both regular and Canadian bacon) and cheese, so I was almost 100% certain that he would love these cheese puffs as his afternoon snack.
I ran out of regular bacon so I used Canadian bacon to make these gougeres. I diced them up into small bits and then mixed them with the dough. I love it that every bite is a hidden treasure of the bacon; the cheesy gougeres tasted rich, savory, and absolutely mouthwatering hot off the oven. We enjoyed them a lot.
Have a wonderful week and hope you get to try this amazing Bacon Parmesan Gougeres cheese puffs recipe soon!

Can’t wait to try making this! I love cheesy bread!

If using Canadian bacon, and there isn’t enough rendered fat, would it be ok to use vegetable oil? – I was also thinking of using diced prosciutto as a special treat :-)

Oooh la la, diced prosciutto, how come I didn’t think about that. Yes, I think you can use a little vegetable oil…let me know how’s your experiment! :)

Sounds really good. Can’t wait to try. Is there any way you could list calories and things?

Hi Carol, good suggestion, I will consider it, but let’s just eat and enjoy and thank of calories later for now. ;)

can I use all purpose flour if I don’t have bread flour? will that make any difference in the result? thanks
Rasa Malaysia
I think should be OK. :)

I would recommend adding an herb to this recipe – such as oregano; but overall I think it lacks flavor and I even added a clove of garlic w/ kosher salt to make a paste, and used 3 different cheeses for flavor: parmesan, pecorino and sharp cheddar. I used canadian bacon as well and used 5 pieces.
