A gougre (pronounced [u]), in French cuisine, is a baked savory choux pastry made of choux dough mixed with cheese. There are many variants. The cheese is commonly grated Gruyre, Comt, or Emmentaler,[1][2] but there are many variants using other cheeses or other ingredients.
Gougres are said to come from Burgundy, particularly the town of Tonnerre in the Yonne department.[3]
Gougres can be made as small pastries, 34 cm. in diameter; aperitif gougres; 1012 cm.; individual gougres; or in a ring. Sometimes they are filled with ingredients such as mushrooms, beef, or ham; in this case the gougre is usually made using a ring or pie tin.
In Burgundy, they are generally served cold when tasting wine in cellars, but are also served warm as an appetizer.
