I'm bringing these to a dinner tonight, but had to make them this afternoon. I haven't actually tried these before, so my question is ... should I heat them up before serving, or can they be eaten cold? I thought about warming them on stoneware prior to me leaving the house.
 
I think either would be fine, but warm is nice, especially to crisp up the bottoms a little. You could always ask your host for your dinner if there would be room in her oven for 10mins, as I'd guess that they would cool down pretty fast in this weather!

I love this recipe, it's one of my favourites :).

Thanks - It's only a 5 minute drive to her place, and there are going to be about 30 other ladies there tonight, so don't want to clog up her oven. I'll warm them before I leave. Also - just took them out of the pan, except that 5 of them stuck!! Should I have treated the pan before I started? I didn't think the recipe said to, so I didn't.. I think maybe I should have.. anyway the one that I tasted was delicious!
 
I don't think you need to spray the pan. Have you tried using the citrus peeler for getting things out of the MMP? It works wonderfully, and of course doesn't scratch :)

I did use the citrus peeler and did get a few of them out this way .. the others were 'glued' in place from little bits of egg and/or cheese. Oh well, at least I have enough to fill my plate I'm using. Thanks again for your help.Isn't it great to be able to come to this site with any kind of question and know we will most likely have an answer within minutes??!! I love it!
 
Yes spray the pan! I had some stick and discovered it was because I forgot to spray the last row!
