Instructions to make Cheese Puffs (Gougeres):

  4. Beat in eggs one at a time on medium speed. Add gruyere and beat until completely blended.

When the dough bakes, the inside becomes somewhat hollow, very much like a cream puff, making it simple to fill. That's because these cheese puff balls are made from the same pastry dough as cream puffs, a dough called pâte à choux. The difference between those two cheese puffs is the flour used, as well as the cheese. Pão de Queijo is made with tapioca flour and cured "Minas" cheese, or parmesan and mozzarella in my Americanized version, while my Gougeres are made with regular wheat flour and Gruyère. Remove from heat, add flour, and stir to combine.
