    Baker's error....Although they tasted good, I did not manage to roll out the pastry layers neatly. Next time I will use the individual pastry puffs and give that a try.They didn't look pretty but they tasted good. All-in-all, nice flavor.

    I make this about once a month for a delicious treat! Perfect for parties too - I just love the simplicity of this one. It is soooo good!

    oh boy...this dish is to die for. I make this regularly for special occasions and it gets raves every time. It's such a simple dish, but the presentation and taste are top notch and suitable for the fanciest of parties.

    Made this yesterday as an appetizer for friends at our ACC basketball tournament party. What a hit. It was just perfect! When I took it out of the oven those of us in the kitchen were speechless. Then somebody said " Let's eat!" And it was as delicious as it was beautiful. Again, thanks Ina. You are just the best!

    Made this as an appetizer for my wife and daughter. It was very easy to assemble, and came out perfectly. Everybody love it, including my 1 year-old! Will def make again. Once again, Ina comes through with a great go to recipe. Thanks!

    This seems to be a great recipe. I also use it as a appetizer recipe for special occasions. I also make Cheese Pretzels. I really like this recipe, it seems to be tasty and the ingredients are interesting and sometime when i need an easy recipe i use fastrecipes . com to get easy instructions for recipes. They also have an assortment of easy appetizer recipes which i use when i want to cook easily.
    1/2 c Unsalted butter, softened
    2 1/2 c Shredded aged cheddar cheese
    2 tb Dijon mustard
    1 1/4 c Flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    1 Egg white
    Shape these nibblies into pretzels, or make sticks or rounds. You can make them up to three days ahead, then store in a cookie tin. Serve at room temperature or reheat them in a 300 oven for 5 min.

    Perfect, with the oven temp set at 425 instead of 450. And the parchment paper makes for easier clean-up, as well as absorbing a bit of the fat. For vegetarian options, I've tried it with the following:
    • Pesto and fontina instead of mustard, ham and gruyere
    • Caramelized onion jam and gruyere
    • Sauteed, finely chopped herbs and mushrooms with gruyere

    This recipe is fabulous as-is, but it seems to invite inspiration...

    Super simple but super tasty! I couldn't find black forest ham so I just used a good quality smoked ham. I've never had gruyere cheese so I wasn't sure how much I'd like it but the cheese goes perfectly with the ham and the mustard. I will be making this one again!
