Cheese balls/Gougeres au fromage

Today I will share with you a simple and delicious recipe that my polish friend Anneta does and that I really like. It's great for buffets like birthday parties, various celebrations at home, at work, at school of your children, etc. and it's so easy to make!
In french they call these cheese balls "Gougeres au fromage" and if you speak french have a look in the original recipe here: http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_gougeres-au-fromage_20095.aspx

For the ones, that cannot understand the french, I will try to translate :)
Thanks Anneta for sharing this recipe and please send a nice photo to us if you have one!



Ingredients

4 eggs + 1 yolk (optional)
150 gr grated gruyere cheese (my friend says that she puts the double amount or improvise according to your preferences :) 
150 gr of flour
80 gr of butter
salt, white pepper and optionally

Procedure

Warm the oven at 200C/fan. In a small casserole, boil 25cl of water with the butter cut in pieces and 1 teaspoon of salt. Take it out of the fire, add all in once the flour, mix well and put back into low fire to dry well for 1 min. Take it out of the fire, let it cool and add the eggs and whisk well and eventually add the salt, the pepper and the cheese.




Using 2 teaspoons, make small balls of this mixture and put them in an oven dish that you have greased before or you have put the special cooking paper. If you want, cover them with the beaten yolk using a kitchen brush. Put them in the oven for about 25 min or until they get a nice golden color. Enjoy!
