Kids will love this, in fact let them make them- it is a perfect recipe to teach with- lots of fun to eat, and very tasty too. Melty cheese in the middle, and puffy bread- yummy. I served these to my family for years

These were really quick to make and were great as a side with pasta. I didn't have mozzarella (my kids ate it prior to my making these lol) but they were still good made with Jack and Swiss.

These were excellent. A huge hit over Christmas at my Mother's house. She then asked for the recipe to make for New Year's. I would add a bit more seasoning to the biscuit, but that's all.
