"From Recipe + - have altered slightly to omit the parmesan cheese and using all cheddar cheese and not the tasty cheese they suggested (original recipe is 1 cup tasty cheese and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, both grated). Have included chill time in cook time. I couldn't see why these could not be made ahead to the point just before cooking (keep covered in the fridge)."
