Jalapeño Popper Gougères Recipe | Bon Appétit

Choux pastries are a miracle: They come together in a few minutes and are the basis for cream puffs, wreaths, eclairs, croquembouche, French crullers and the airy, cheesy, eggy delicacies that are called gougères. Here the gougères are seasoned with cheddar and pickled jalapeños, as an allusion to jalapeño poppers (thanks to Aliza Abarbanel for the idea!). You can use any color of cheddar you like, but orange will give you the most dramatic look. A word on the method: while an electric mixer makes the job easier, if you have the arm strength (and patience) you can definitely do this entire process by hand – you need to beat vigorously after each egg. However, an electric mixer is likely to make you soar more dramatically.
