*you can play around with the cheese.  I've used Monterey Jack, lo-moisture mozarella, swiss, and evengruyere in place of the cheddar.  all great!
Optional: extra cheese to sprinkleon top and any herbs/flavorings you'd like to add:  Try rosemary and or garlic powder, my favorites!

Add cheeses andpulse 2 times.  Immediately pour bater into a mini muffintin (if yourmuffin tin isn't non-stick, spray lightly with non-stick spray first)  filling each well about 3/4 full, or just slightly less.  Sprinklea bit of parmesancheese on ;top and/or sprinkle of kosher salt.
