- Use 24 slices of white bread. Stack the bread slices into 8 groups of 3, then cut off all of the crusts. (each puff is made from 3 pieces of bread). See pictures above for guidance.24 slices of white bread (frozen or day old)
- For each stack of 3 pieces of bread, do the following: spread the cheese mixture on each piece of bread, top and bottom, then stack into 3. Don't spread too thin or too thick.
- Now cut the squares into quarters then spread more of the cheese/butter mixture on all sides, top and bottom. (This is the messy part!) See pictures above for guidance.
- Place on a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 3 hours, overnight is best. The squares need to be frozen before baking.
- When ready, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, then bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and they start to brown. But be careful not to burn them!
- Tip: If you notice them start to slide apart while they're baking, just push them back together.
- Serve immediately, they're best when hot!
