Cheesy Party Bites Recipe
Ingredients (makes ~24 bites)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
½ cup butter, cold and cubed
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix—cheddar works great!)
¼ cup milk
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Cut in Butter:
Add the cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese:
Stir in the shredded cheese evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Form Bites:
Scoop small spoonfuls (about 1 tbsp each) and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve Warm:
Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve. These go FAST, so maybe make a double batch!
💡 Tips:
You can swap cheddar with your favorite cheese or even mix cheddar + mozzarella for extra gooeyness.
Optional: sprinkle a pinch of paprika or parmesan on top before baking for an extra flavor punch.
