Gougères au Fromage
Main ingredients: flour, cheese, eggs, butter, salt

Matt says: "Great easy-to-make snacks made with flour, cheese and eggs. Once they're cooked let them cool down a bit to dry out, Use a teaspoon in each hand to make the pastry into small balls. Takes a bit of practice but don't worry too much about the shape when you spoon them into the baking tray, they usually come out fine once they're cooked."
These are fantastic for an aperitif snack and very easy to make once you get the hang of it. The hardest part is stirring in the eggs.
