My great-grandmother was known for making these for all of her dinner parties and cocktail parties. They make excellent appetizers, and you can make them ahead of time and keep them frozen. Prep time does not include the time needed for the dough to chill. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Note- this is also a great base recipe to which you can easily add other favorite ingredients - I have prepared bacon and diced fresh tomato variation, a ham and onion variation, and a sun-dried tomato and mushroom version by dicing up the desired ingredients and adding them to the cheese (using a little less cheese to make room for all of it to fit into the cups). The possibilities are endless! **Note: I have successfully made these gluten free by using a gluten free flour mix (a blend of rice flour, potato starch and tapioca flour, with a bit of xanthan gum). Just ensure that any fillings you choose to use are gluten free, and you are good to go!**
