Chili Cheese Cubes

Submitted by Lorraine of AZ

"This is an hors d'ourve that makes a marvelous snack or even lunch entree, as well. This is much like a crustless quiche, It is nutritious and not too picante -- a delicious and satisfying blend of 2 kinds of cheese with chilies and other things, all of which make a happy mouth. And remember: happy mouth, happy you!"

This was my favorite "holiday" dish when I was a child. I haven't seen the recipe for it since my Mom passed away many years ago. These are so good and bring back many fond memories!
