• 1/3 C milk or half and half
• 1/2 C shredded mild cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and pour into casseroles.
Bake for 25 min. and turn off oven. Allow to cool in oven for 5min.
Open oven door and leave casseroles another minute to cool down slowly. If you take them out of the oven too quickly the volume of air drops and they would look flat instead of having grand pouf.
Serve in the casserole with a paper doily on the plate to keep the casserole from sliding around.
