Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon espelette pepper
  • 4 teaspoon large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon grated gruyère cheese

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Bring milk, water, butter, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.

Add flour, and espelette pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 5-10 minutes, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Cool at room temperature 5 minutes, then beat in eggs, one at a time.

Drop 3-tablespoon-size mounds of dough 2" apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Top each mound with grated gruyère cheese and sprinkle with fleur de sel, cracked black pepper, and more espelette pepper.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees halfway through, until puffy and brown.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
