Wonderful! I could have left them in the oven another minute or so, but I didn't want the crisps to burn. I should have spread out the cheese mounds a little bit more than I did, but the end result was still good. I topped half the crisps with a little bit of salsa to serve. -
Delicious! I prepared as directed by the recipe. I love the "bite" that the pepper adds to the cheese. DH was late getting home, so I left what few I could resist eating on the stove with the recipe beside the plate so he would know what he was eating. This morning he said how good they were, so I will be making them again soon! I love MsBold's suggestions about serving with soup and using different cheeses. Thanks Lorac! Oh I have to add, so easy and quick to prepare! Took my oven longer to preheat that to prepare these! LOL! -
Yummy. I added Emeril's Essence and served them with a spicy gumbo. -
For a spectacular presentation, try laying a small wooden skewer halfway into the cheese mounds before cooking. When cooled, they will present like lollipops. I inserted them into a wine glass filled with red-coloured sand for a Christmas cocktail party last year, next to some melon balls threaded with prosciutto (also on skewers). Rave reviews guaranteed.

I used asiago and definitely needed the pepper to bring it up a notch. The baby liked them alot. Just be sure to keep an eye on them because they do burn quickly as I learnt with one panful.
