This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The braid is always flaky and the filling is always creamy and flavorful. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

This braid was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would try using less cheese next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The dough was too sticky to work with and the filling was bland. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
