Good recipe. I made major changes to it though. I used egg-replacer and dairy-free butter. I also lowered the cheese to 1/2 cup, and used smoked aged gouda. I sub the onion with dry chopped onions. I baked some immediately and froze the rest. I baked them later and was happy with the result.

Try a dip in honey mustard (make your own - 1.5:1 mustard:honey) and a hint of mayo

followed this recipe exactly. thought it was just okay - seemed like it was missing something, was a little bland

I didn't care for these, I found them to be quite flavourless and they didn't keep well frozen.

These were good. My daughter said they looked bad but tasted good. Thanks.
