Stuffed Cheese Buns

Stuffed Cheese Buns

This recipe is a great way to use up left over cheese you may have in your fridge. Or you could buy cheese just to make these, they are worth it after all.

You can use almost any cheese you wish for the inside and top of these buns. The combinations are endless. I even made them once where I had many different cheeses to use up so each one ended up being different.
