1 small
pkg. (3-4 oz.) cream cheese
1/4 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter
2 egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 bag (full size – 3-4 oz.) plain pork rinds
Melt cream
cheese, cheddar cheese and butter in a double boiler or in
microwave. Cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile beat egg whites with
cream of tartar until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold cheese
mixture into beaten egg whites, being careful not to break
down whites. Dip pork rinds into mixture to evenly coat and
then place on wax paper or parchment covered plate. Let stand
in refrigerator overnight.

the oven to 250°F. Spread puffs evenly across cookie sheet
and bake a slow oven, (250°F.) for approximately one hour,
or until crisp. The finished puff texture is somewhat like
