Lisa's Cheddar/Feta Cheese Puffs

 

Three letters describe these little biscuit-like puffs:  O!M!G!  'nuff said!

Okay, also maybe: THANK YOU to my friend Lisa who sent me the recipe for these little darlings. Check out her web site at www.thecardboardschoolhouse.com for more recipes and home-schooling ideas.

 

•   Cheese Puffs
  Recipe By Lisa Wilburn,  www.thecardboardschoolhouse.com
  
  Ingredients:
  1/4 cup butter, softened but not melted or runny
  1/2 all purpose flour
  1 cup shredded cheese (I use Calbot extra sharp cheddar)
  3 tablespoons of feta cheese crumbled (optional)
  Greek (or your favorite) seasoning blend, to taste (about a teaspoon for
  mild and a tablespoon plus a few dashes of red pepper for spicy puffs)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix butter and flour in mixing bowl and mix (stand on low mixer about a minute ) or
by hand until well mixed. 

Slowly add cheese and seasoning and mix until the dough forms a ball (in a stand
mixer about another minute or until a dough comes together).  If the mix is too
crumbly add a 1/4 teaspoon of milk and mix).  Roll dough into 1 3/4 inch
balls or scoop with a 1 oz cookie dough scoop.

Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet bake for 9 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.  These are best served warm.
