“Gougères, shared by the Jura and Burgundy regions, are the best appetisers with Champagne, white wine or beer. We’ve served them at the restaurant for 25 years.”

Remove from heat, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in Gruyère. Spoon heaped tablespoons of mixture onto a baking-paper-lined oven tray, bake until golden and crisp (8-10 minutes). Serve immediately.
