Cheese Puffs for Holiday Cheer

These gougères, or cheese puffs, are tender and cheesy with a nice peppery kick. They're perfect for a holiday party this weekend or, get this, make them this weekend, freeze them, and whip them out over the next few weeks - whether it be drop-in guests, Christmas Eve, or a big New Year's party. They freeze beautifully, just gently re-heat (no need to defrost if you happen to forget) and serve.
