BLUE CHEESE THINS

Blue Cheese Thins image

I grew up in the South, where cheese straws are served at most potlucks and meals. This recipe uses blue cheese for a bit of a twist. These thins are wonderful to munch before the meal. They can also be crumbled and added to soups or salads. -Kim Fabrizio, Burien, Washington
