Cheese Puffs
When I made a thick and rich stew or chowder like Irish Stew, Hamburger Soup or Shrimp & Corn Chowder, I always like some bread with it, but too much and it fills me up.
These cheese puffs are the perfect little bite that satisfies that carb craving and gives me something to mop up all those tasty bits from the bottom of the bowl.
Make these as you are preparing your soup or stew, and serve them hot out of the oven.
