Chef John's Party Cheese Puffs Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Chef John's Party Cheese Puffs Recipe). These beautiful cheese puffs, gougeres, are as easy as they are delicious. Usually Gruyere cheese is used but I had some very sharp farmhouse Cheddar cheese in the fridge, so I decided to use that. As long as you are using a very sharp, full-flavored cheese I don't think you can go wrong. I love gougeres with Gruyere, but I think the extra-sharp Cheddar was just as good.
