These were good. I couldn't get a nice photo because I had to flip them a second time to get them crispy enough to my taste, and they looked a little worse-for-wear as a result. But we ate them all up, and my boys enjoyed them. They are a mild, cheesy flavor with a nice crispiness. Very simple to prepare and cook.
