Cheese Puffs (Gougeres)
Cheese Puffs (Gougeres) – best and easiest recipe for puffy, light and airy French cheese puffs. Loaded with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, so good!

Cheese puffs, or Gougeres are my favorite things to bake when I crave for something cheesy. They are such delightful—and addictive—little packages packed with wonderful aromas and delicate flavors. I just can’t stop eating these fresh-off-the-oven cheese puffs, loaded with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
I learned how to make these cheese puffs from Home Cooking Adventure. Her video offers clear step-by-step instructions so this cheese puffs recipe is fail-proof and fool-proof.
This recipe yield golden-hued, puffy, light and airy cheese puffs. Depending on how big you make them, you get about 16-18. Trust me, you might want to make two batches as they will fly off the kitchen counter top in no time as they are so addictive. Once you start eating, you want more.

These look sinfully delicious! Would it be okay to use a grain free flour, like tapioca or arrowroot instead of plain flour? I’m allergic to gluten! :( Tks!!

Sorry I am not sure.

Bea – The Brazilian cheese bread Pao de Queijo uses tapioca flour, so you might give that a try with this recipe (or search for the Brazilian bread recipe instead).

Hi Leslie, thanks for letting me know!

What if they are runny
Rasa Malaysia
They shouldn’t be runny. If they are you are doing something wrong.

These sound and look like my recipe called profiteroles which I make all the time. My recipe does not include cheese, so I am anxious to try your recipe. I slice my profiteroles in half and fill with chicken salad or ham salad. I’ll bet adding cheese would add a delicious twist to my mini appetizers. Great idea. Thank you for posting this.
