I’ve made these a few times with great success. My family loves them. And I am considering making a lot of them ahead for my sons post wedding brunch, But I’m wondering if I can make them ahead and freeze them. If so how would I reheat them for a crowd?

I've made this recipe twice. It is delicious. But they do not come out looking like these. They start out looking perfect like these. It once cooked they puff up more and sadly leak. Even though I thought I sealed them well. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for taking the time to ask. I have been thinking about this and I am wondering if you are not stretching the dough out enough. The thinner dough will not puff up as much. As far as the leaking goes, I suspect it is that you are using too much cheese sauce. This is a fine line. As much as I think cheese sauce makes everything better, in this case a little goes a long way. I made these for superbowl and had some cheese sauce in a warming bowl for people to dip their cigars in. I think most of all it is apparent that I need to clarify my recipe better. These are steps that I did not mention in the recipe that need to be. I appreciate you taking to the time to ask. I do love how Food 52 has helped me become a better recipe writer and I can always hone this skill.

I had some of the gruyere cheese sauce left over after making these... it is delicious on anything!! Great recipe.
