# Ingrédients:

→ Dairy

01 - 1/2 cup whole milk
02 - 1/2 cup water
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
04 - 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
05 - 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

→ Pantry

06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Eggs

09 - 4 large eggs

→ Flavorings

10 - 1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles, well-drained
11 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
12 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

# Étapes:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, water, butter, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball forms and pulls away from the sides.
04 - Return saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes to dry the dough slightly.
05 - Transfer dough to a mixing bowl. Allow to cool for 3 minutes.
06 - Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Dough should be glossy and pipeable.
07 - Stir in Gruyère, Parmesan, chopped pickles, dill, and Dijon mustard until evenly distributed.
08 - Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or use a spoon. Pipe or drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
09 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffs are golden brown, crisp, and well-puffed. Do not open the oven during baking.
10 - Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
