Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Finely chop the chives, dill, and parsley, then grate the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring until the butter is fully melted.
5 minutes
3
Remove the pan from the heat and add all the flour at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball.
2 minutes
4
Return the pan to low heat and stir the dough for 1 to 2 minutes to dry it out slightly, then transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth, glossy, and holds a slow ribbon when lifted with a spoon.
5 minutes
6
Fold in the grated Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, dill, and parsley until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
2 minutes
7
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, or pipe them using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.
