Cheese Puffs
Cheese Puffs
These are delicious little bites of goodness. They are equally good served hot or at room temperature, so they are great to take to parties as they don’t have to be kept warm.
This recipe makes thirty puffs. If we go by what my Nana taught me, it is enough to feed ten people as on the average people eat three appetizers. If your family loves olives it might be more like a serving for two to three people.

ALTERNATE RECIPE

NOTES:
I’ve used both recipes, and both work well, though I might slightly like the first one more. It’s the easiest to blend and, in my opinion, to work with. They are great to have with drinks before dinner or to set out with appetizers at a party.
