I made these little yummies for PAC Fall '06, using red wine and regular jack cheese. I sprinkled a little bit of grated jack on them before broiling because you can never have too much cheese! These were SO yummy! Hubby and I devoured them. So easy to make too. We both agreed that they would be even yummier using pepper jack cheese - just that little hint of spice would go very nicely. Great recipe!
