These look delicious! I tried making them before and they completely flopped, more like cheese pancakes :( I'm going to try this recipe. Thanks! Sheri

About Easy Cheese Puffs

These little gems make a lovely hors d’oeuvres on their own, or stuffed…from The Classics LCBO special edition. We’re taking them as a hostess gift tonight! Makes about 40 little bite-sized puffs!
They puff up about 12 minutes into baking and are ideal for stuffing with a pipping funnel (I bought a really cheap one from a dollar store and it works very well). Stuff with goats cheese, or your own recipe. Unstuffed, they freeze very well.
This recipe may be doubled. Check it out on my blog .
