Creamy and SO wonderfully flavoursome: a great blend of flavours. I made these exactly to the recipe except for the omission of the chili pepper flakes and using harvati instead of blue cheese (personal taste preferences) and basically wouldn't want to change a thing. :) I used low-fat milk, rosemary, sage and thyme. These were the perfect accompaniment to Noo's Recipe #349330. Thank you so much for sharing this super recipe, ~Rita~! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
