We really liked these! I reduced the amounts to make a half batch which was easy to do and increased the cumin to a teaspoon per our taste. I didn't have green onions so used regular yellow, but don't think it hampered the taste at all. I used "about half" the amount of cheese and there was still plenty for us to enjoy a cheesy, simple to prepare and quick dinner! Thanks for sharing your recipe we'll enjoy again! :)
