Dough

Plum Compôte

Method

Gougères

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add flour and salt, stirring until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and glossy.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Fold in the smoked five brothers cheese until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Pipe the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag, pipe small mounds of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Plum Compôte

  1. 6

    Cook the Plums

    In a saucepan, combine plums, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the plums are soft and the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the compôte to cool before serving with the gougères.
