Notes
If you can’t find herbed cheese curds at the store, you can easily make your own by combining 6 ounces of cheese curds with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley. Stir all ingredients together and use as instructed in recipe.
I used packaged gravy mix for this recipe because I simply didn’t feel like making gravy from scratch. Feel free to use store bought gravy, or your favorite homemade gravy of choice!
