Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 425°. Bring milk, butter, salt, and 1⁄3 cup water to a boil in a 4-qt. saucepan over high. Add flour; stir until dough forms. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring dough constantly with a wooden spoon, until slightly dried, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; using a hand mixer, beat in 1 egg until smooth. Repeat with remaining eggs, beating well after each addition, until dough is smooth; stir in half each of the cheeses.
Step 2
Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a plain 1⁄2" tip. Using a swirling motion, pipe 1 1⁄2"-tall mounds of dough, about 1" in diameter, onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets; sprinkle tops with remaining cheeses. Place in oven and reduce temperature to 375°. Bake gougères until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
