A coworker gave me this recipe thirty years ago. I made a few changes to suit my family’s tastes. These hot cheese and spinach puffs are tasty and always well-received! They are super convenient since you can make them in advance and bake them later. —Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

Ingredients
