Parmesan Bread Puffs

Looking for a new side dish to serve?  Parmesan Bread Puffs are something new and different to try. They are savory puffs perfect to serve with grilled meats or along side your favorite roast.  I have even served them as an appetizer.   These puffs are a unique version of that classic baked strata, my version is not for breakfast or brunch any more!

      Wow – that is what I get for trying to post in an airport! Thanks for the alert – you add the cheese after whisking in the milk. I have corrected the instructions – thanks
