Eggless Cheese and Herb Gougères

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture just begins to simmer.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

4. 4

   Allow the dough to cool for 5 minutes, then add the plain yogurt. Mix well until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.

5. 5

   Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, chopped chives, and chopped parsley until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. 6

   Using two spoons or a piping bag, drop small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the gougères are puffed and golden brown.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your eggless cheese and herb gougères warm!
