To make about 18 cheddar gougères, begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.

Bring the Cabot Unsalted Butter, milk, water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, add the all-purpose flour and constantly stir the mixture using a wooden spoon.

Lower heat to medium-low. The mixture will gradually form into a ball. Continue to stir the mixture for another minute. A slight crust should form on the bottom of the pan.

Remove the dough from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes.

Add the dough to your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (alternatively, you can use a wooden spoon).

Next, add the eggs one by one, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next one.

Then mix in the grated Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese.

Drop the dough onto your lined baking sheets using a tablespoon. Be sure to leave 2 inches between each gougère.

Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm!
