Greetings and welcome to another wonderful adventure into the world of sensations and fragrances, my fellow food lovers! Today, we’re exploring the realm of delightfully cheesy goodness with a recipe for Cheese Bites, which is ideal for gatherings, snacking, or just sating your cheese desires.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups of your favorite shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for an extra kick of flavour)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Dipping sauces of your choice (marinara, ranch, or honey mustard)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat and Prep:
-
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
-
Place the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using) in a mixing bowl. To ensure that the components are distributed evenly, give them a good mixing.
Add Cheese:
-
Stir the dry ingredients gently while adding the shredded cheese, until the cheese is coated and spread evenly.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
-
Pour in the milk and melted butter. Everything should be combined until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together.
Shape the Bites:
-
Scoop out parts of the dough and roll them into little balls using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake to Perfection:
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, then slide it inside. Bake the cheese bites for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have a slight crunch to the edges.
Serve and Savor:

After the cheese bites have finished baking, let them cool for a while before serving and enjoying. Serve them with your preferred dipping sauces after placing them on a serving platter. You won’t be able to stop yourself from indulging in the flavor explosion created by the gooey, cheesy interior and the crispy exterior!
