Published Nov 17, 2014 Updated Sep 24, 2024 I recently discontinued the hot food and snack meal plan at my son’s preschool because he wasn’t eating and was wasting the food daily. As a result, I’ve been packing his lunch box and snacks every day. For his snacks, I’ve been baking simple breads and cheese puffs, such as cheesy garlic bread, mini monkey bread, gougeres (or French cheese puffs), Brazilian cheese bread, choux pastry, and cheese breadsticks. All these snacks are easy to make and can be whipped up quickly without turning the kitchen into a disaster zone. More importantly, we all love these breads and puffs! I’ve made the regular gougères recipe from my archive a few times, but little G seems to be getting bored with it. I had a Bacon and Parmesan Gougeres recipe saved from Fine Cooking magazine earlier this year, so I decided to give it a try this past week. Since little G loves bacon (both regular and Canadian bacon) and cheese, I was almost certain he would enjoy these cheese puffs as an afternoon snack. I ran out of regular bacon, so I used Canadian bacon for these gougeres. I diced it into small bits and mixed it into the dough. I love that every bite is a hidden treasure of bacon; the cheesy gougeres tasted rich, savory, and absolutely mouthwatering fresh out of the oven. We enjoyed them a lot. Have a wonderful week, and I hope you get to try this amazing Bacon Parmesan Gougeres recipe soon!
