CiCi CiCi's Cheese Puffs Reviews Date of last review 3 Sat April 21, 2012 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 9.0 Description: Ingredients: 1 bag pork rinds, plain 2 eggs 1 c half & half 5 oz cheese*-cut up or grated 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp mustard powder** How To Prepare: Heat oven to 350. In a food processor, grind the pork rinds. Add the eggs, onion, garlic and mustard powders and cheese. Blend well until cheese is broken down. Add the half & half. This will make a stiff, moist dough. Drop by small spoonfuls (about the size of a quarter) onto a lined and sprayed cookie sheet, approx 3/4" apart. Bake until browned around edges and lightly browned on top, approx. 18 min. (You can kick up the heat a little, just keep an eye on the first batch for a time) *You can use any mixture of cheeses (NOT sliced sandwich cheese). Sharp cheddar would give a stronger cheese flavor. ** You may also choose to add a few dashes of cayenne powder for an extra kick! Hint: To control portion servings of chunk cheese, I cut the entire brick into slices before serving any of it (8oz=8 slices, 16oz=16 slices) Number of Servings: I got 90 puffs from this recipe Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 16 grams total recipe Preparation Time: About 10 minutes prep, <1 hr baking Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

	Review Date: Tue January 25, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): easy to make Cons: missing a little flavor I made this recipe for a party on Sunday and everyone (except for me!) loved them. The only reason I didn't care for them was the whole stigma I have in my brain about pork rinds... yuck. About half was through the batch, someone suggested that I add some pepperoni and jalepenos, which really gave them a ton more flavor. They are super easy to make and are great as a really lo-carb snack.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): It was good Cons: Did not taste like traditional Cheese Puffs to me... tasted more like corn bread... a little bland but next batch will add salt and maybe that will help Would make a good cornbread substitute.... I am also going to play with the recipe some and maybe add chilis or some flavored salt or possible some ranch dressing.... I also think I could sit down with a thing of butter and just dip them in the butter...
