In this season 2 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 6), Amy puts a New England twist on a classic French dish. Cheese Gougères are a definite crowd pleaser and with extra sharp cheddar from Grafton, Vermont, this dish goes above and beyond. The base of the dough is made from water, butter and flour. The addition of eggs makes the dough smooth and gives it an extra umph when transferred to the oven. Once done, these cute little puffs are easy to eat in one bite. Cheesy and delicious, they are gone in a pinch!
