Gruyere Rings

Yields: 3 dozen

 

Ingredients:

 

3/4 cup      

whole milk

1/2 tsp.

salt

1/4 cup

unsalted butter

2/3 cup

all purpose flour

 2

large eggs

4 oz.

Cave Matured Gruyere Cheese, grated, (1 ¼ cups)

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Make choux pastry: Bring milk, salt and butter to a boil. Remove from heat. Add flour and beat with a wooden spoon until dough starts to leave the bottom of the pan and forms into a ball. Cool slightly. Beat in eggs one at a time and then beat until dough becomes shiny but is still sticky.

3. Stir half of the Cave Matured Gruyere Cheese into the choux pastry.

4. Spoon dough into a pastry bag (or Ziploc Bag with the corner sipped off) and pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in rings of about 2 inches in diameter.

5. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of rings.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack
