Preparation Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a small saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

3

Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

4

Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to dry out the dough.

5

Transfer the dough to a bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

6

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.

7

Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese and chopped fresh herbs until evenly combined.

8

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

9

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door during the first 15 minutes of baking.

10

Serve warm.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (chives, parsley, tarragon), finely chopped

Managing Blood Sugar

"For an even lower-carb version, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough for extra flavor. These are best served fresh, but can be reheated briefly in a low oven."

Ideal for stabilizing after-meal spikes
