Gougère

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Gougère is a savory choux pastry made with cheese, typically either Gruyère, Comté, or Emmental. Originating from the Burgundy region of France, gougères are often served cold as an appetizer or snack. They can also be filled with various ingredients for a more substantial dish.

History[edit | edit source]

The gougère has its roots in the Burgundy region of France, specifically in the town of Tonnerre in the Yonne department. The name "gougère" is derived from the word "goujère", a term used in the Middle Ages to describe a type of bread made with brioche dough and cheese.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The dough for gougères, known as pâte à choux, is made by combining water, butter, salt, and flour over heat until the mixture forms a ball. The dough is then removed from the heat and eggs are added one at a time, followed by the cheese. The dough is piped onto a baking sheet and baked until puffed and golden.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the traditional gougère is made with Gruyère, Comté, or Emmental cheese, variations can include other types of cheese, as well as additional ingredients such as herbs, spices, or meat. In Burgundy, gougères are often served with a glass of local wine, such as Chablis or Crémant de Bourgogne.
