Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

These were very good, and not hard to make. I made only a third of the recipe, and used pepper jack instead of mozzarella, since that's what I had on hand. I also cut back the garlic to just a couple of cloves, and was glad I did--the flavor was just right. Crisp, delicious, and really good for almost any meal.
