These plump little choux pastry treats are perfect for appetizers at holidays and house parties. Unlike other choux pastry treats, gougères are not sweet and are made with savory fillings, like this recipe with bits of fried bacon and smoked Gouda. Add crumbled bacon and some of the grated cheese directly to the dough, then sprinkle the remaining Gouda on top for a delicious cheesy crust. Everyone will love this treat!
