Gougères stuffed with Le Roulé with 1% summer truffle
Makes 8 to 10 gougères
Ingredients
- 250 g Le Roulé truffle (2 packs)
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 1 pinch of salt
- 150 g T45 flour
- 4 eggs + 1 for the egg wash
- 70 g grated Emmental
Preparation steps:
- In a saucepan, pour in 25 cl of water, the salt, and the butter cut into cubes. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
- Add the flour and mix vigorously.
- Return to medium heat and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan. Add one-third of the cheese and stir to melt it.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. You may not need all of the last egg, so beat it in a separate bowl and add it gradually while mixing. Once you get a ribbon consistency, put the dough in a piping bag.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C on convection. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe gougères about 3 cm in diameter. Brush with beaten egg, then sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Slice each gougère in half horizontally and stuff with a piece of Le Roulé Truffle.
