Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
These appetizers freeze well. After baking, cool completely, then freeze on a tray before transferring to a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or microwave for a softer texture.
For a spicy version, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mixture.
