Bring the water, butter, and salt to the boil in a saucepan.
Add the wheat flour all at once and cook the dough for 3 minutes, stirring until a film forms on the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 6 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, making the dough glossy after each addition.
Fold the grated Gruyere cheese and black pepper into the dough.
Pipe the dough into small balls on a tray and bake for 10 minutes at 200°C.
Lower the oven to 180°C and dry the cheese puffs for 16 more minutes, then serve warm.
💡 Tip: Add the eggs one at a time only after the dough has cooled slightly; hot dough cooks the eggs and the puffs will not rise.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve gougeres warm as a savory snack for tea time, with a cheese board or optional grapes.
