Looking for Gordon Hammersley gougere recipe NOW! Ugh.

I am throwing a big b-day party for my pops and Gordon Hammersley's gougere recipe is my favorite go to for cocktail munchies. I cannot find my book! Does any one have it who can reprint the recipe here for me, please? Help - need to make them tonight!! (also, as a copyright lawyer, i can assure you recipes don't get copyright protection, so no worries about the fuzz knockin' down yer door!) thanks all for your help.

    1/2 c water
    6 T unsalted butter, softened to room temp.
    1/2 c. milk
    1/2 tsp. kosher salt
    1 c AP flour
    4 lg. eggs
    3/4 c gated Gruyere
    1/4 c Asiago

    Recipe technique is basically the same as rhe one linked by gourmanda w/these exceptions:
    --no step for extra egg
    --no dill seeds
    --sprinkle tops of gougeres w/asiago before baking
    --oven should be 400F for first 15 min. of baking, lowered to 350 for next 15-20 min.

      I'm not sure what so special about those, but I've made these with great results. In case it comes down to needing any (known) recipe.
