WONDERFUL!!! I made these today and tried them out on friends and everyone loved them - even the kids. I was worried about the whole puff thing but the recipe went together perfectly without any problems. I used my small cookie scooper to drop them on the baking sheet and that made nice uniform puffs. I baked them at 375 in a convection oven and it took exactly 20 minutes for them to be perfectly done. One note - their taste actually improved as they sat rather than eating them right out of the oven. So I'm thinking it will be a good make earlier in the day appetizer. They are on the menu for our next gourmet dinner club night! Thanks for sharing!

These are very good. It was easy to halve the recipe for my little Easter get-together and it's nice to be able to make them ahead of time because they DO get better upon sitting for a while. Thanks Jellyqueen, good recipe!

I make these and freeze them to have a quick appetizer on hand.

This were quite good and very easy to make. I don't know if I will make these very often since it takes two packages of crumbled blue cheese and these cost $2.37 at the store where I purchased my ingredients. I may try this recipe and substitute a less expensive cheese and see how it works.
