Cheesy Snack Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded Mozzarella cheese, egg, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture should form a sticky, cheesy dough.
- Form Bite-Sized Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, form bite-sized balls of the cheesy mixture. Place them on the prepared parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
- Bake in the Oven: Bake the cheesy snack bites in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Garnish (Optional): If desired, garnish the cheesy bites with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cheesy snack bites to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, and their chewy texture combined with the gooey cheese makes for a delightful snack.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce (Optional): Consider serving these cheesy bites with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a garlic aioli, to enhance the flavor.
These Easy Cheesy Snack Bites are perfect for parties, gatherings, or simply as a tasty treat for yourself. Enjoy the chewy, cheesy goodness!
