   8      tb            Butter
     1/4  ts            Salt
   1      c             Flour
   4                    Eggs
   1      c             Gruyere cheese --
                        - coarsely chopped
   1      tb            Parsley -- chopped
   1      tb            Dill -- chopped
   1      tb            Chives -- chopped
   1      c             Water

An herbed gougere.

In a saucepan, combine the butter, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a
boil. Off the heat, add the flour all at once and beat well with a
wooden spoon until the flour is incorporated. Return the saucepan to
moderate heat and cook until the dough becomes quite stiff and pulls
away from the sides of the pan.

Remove from the heat and beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in 2/3
cup of the cheese and all the chopped herbs.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto an
ungreased baking sheet to make individual puffs or drop the dough by
tablespoons to form a ring. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for
25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Serve warm.
