John and I were given the challenge to incorporate some French food into a gathering of friends, in honor of Bastille Day (July 14th.). So, this morning I made mousse, the real kind, not just pudding and whipped cream! I wanted more than just a dessert, so I googled French snack recipes and decided on Cheese Puffs. I did exchange the
Gruyere cheese for regular Swiss cheese. At $9 (on sale) per 8 oz. block, I decided it was a bit over my budget for a little snack! I only used about 2-3 oz. of the Swiss cheese, but neither was available in less than 8 oz. blocks.
Since I'm serving the mousse tonight I actually haven't had a whole bowlful. Licking the spatula was pretty good though. The cheese puffs are quite yummy, but not sure that they are worth the effort very often.

I actually used rice flour in the cheese puffs, too, since I have a guest who does not do gluten well. I don't see how they would be better with wheat flour. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy! Want to send some my way? ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, but rice flour sounds expensive. The words "Gluten Free" are never cheap. It does look good though. Yum!
