Cheese Puffs

Ingredients

•1 cup milk
•1/4-pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
•1 teaspoon salt
•1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•1 cup all-purpose flour
•4 extra-large eggs
•1/2 cup grated Gruyere, plus extra for sprinkling
•1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
•1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip ( You can also use ziplock bags if you do not have pastry bag). Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside
