Cheesy Buttery Puff

 

I found this recipe on "My Food and Family" and it looks like something I'd like to try.  Look out!  Karan's getting creative.  Lol!

10 Ritz crackers, crushed

1/2 cup milk

4 oz Velveeta, cut into cubes

4 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese, cubed

4 eggs, separated

3 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Spread your cracker crumbs onto the bottom of a 9" square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan combine the milk, Velveeta, and cream cheese and cook over medium heat until the cheeses are completely melted and mixture is well blended.  Stir frequently.  

Whisk the egg yolks and chives together until well blended.  Stir these into the cheese mixture once it is cool enough.  Note:  If you stir the egg yolks into hot cheese mixture they will scramble.  Wait a few minutes for it to cool.  

Beat the egg whites in a small bowl with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.  Gently stir them into the cheese mixture.

Pour into your baking dish and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until top is puffed and golden brown.  

Serve immediately.  This is best served hot!
