White Cheddar Puffs with spring onions

These savoury white cheddar puffs with spring onions are a sophisticated take on the classic French gougère. Featuring a light choux pastry base enriched with sharp, vintage cheddar and the mild bite of spring onions, they offer a wonderful contrast between a crisp exterior and a soft, airy centre. This vegetarian recipe is exceptionally versatile, making it a reliable choice for elegant dinner party nibbles or a comforting afternoon snack when you want something more substantial than a biscuit.

Preparing these cheesy bites is straightforward and highly convenient for entertaining, as the dough can be shaped and stored in the fridge or freezer well in advance. Simply pop them into the oven straight from the cold and bake until golden and well-risen. For the best flavour and texture, serve them warm from the tray while the cheese is still fragrant and the pastry remains perfectly crisp.

  • 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt plus additional for sprinkling

How to make White Cheddar Puffs with spring onions

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring 240ml water, butter, and 1/2 teaspoons salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat; mix in flour. Stir over medium heat until mixture becomes slightly shiny and pulls away from sides of pan, about 3 minutes; transfer to stand mixer fitted with paddle. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition to form sticky dough. Mix in cheese and spring onions.

Using 2 teaspoons , form dough into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch ovals; drop onto baking sheet 1 inch apart. (Can be made ahead. Wrap in plastic, then foil. Refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 2 weeks.)

Preheat oven to 191°C. Bake cheese puffs until golden, about 30 minutes if at room temperature and 35 minutes if chilled or frozen. Serve immediately.
