Gougères, or French cheese puffs, were the first appetizer that I ever made for a dinner party. I have learned that gougères can be widely customized by changing up the cheese and herbs used, and even swapping butter for olive oil. Check out my recipe below for olive oil and prosciutto gougères. As a private chef in Charleston, I use this olive oil and prosciutto gougeres recipe often, and it is bound to make people smile. You can bake them ahead of time, freeze or refrigerate them, and then reheat them in a 300-degree oven right before serving. I have swapped prosciutto for cooked country ham and swapped Comté or Gruyère cheese in the past, too. The food processor is helpful in this recipe to aid in creating a smooth dough. Olinda olive oil adds a signature Italian flavor that lingers after every bite.
