I really enjoyed these little cheese puffs and they are very simple to throw together as dinner rolls or appetizers. They did stick somewhat to the mini muffin pan (I reduced the recipe to 1 dozen) but I used spray butter so it may have been the reason. I also sprinkled the tops with garlic powder and paprika, and although I loved them thru out, Buddha said he only liked the tops. I think this would work great with cheddar also. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
