Preheat Oven to 425 Degrees Fahrenheit
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat

Remove from heat and add the Gruyere cheese and bacon. Stir until combined and cheese melts
Add the dough to the mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed for around 2 minutes or until the dough cools off
Add the eggs one by one beating well after each addition
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats
Use an ice cream scoop to shape the dough into balls. You can also shape them by hand
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of each ball
Bake for around 20 minutes or until the Gougères are puffed up and golden
