The first thing that comes to mind when talking about cheese snacks is obviously the delicious croquettes filled with gooey surprises. All it takes is coating cheese cubes with batter and breadcrumbs and then frying it to golden perfection. Either deep fry or air fry, these balls turn out delicious in every way.
2) Shredded Cheese Chips
This recipe has been around for quite a long time but started gaining momentum all over the world through social media. It is basically shredded cheese placed over a hot griddle in small portions and as the cheese melts, it becomes thin like chips with a delicious crunch.
3) Cheese Vegetable Roast
Vegetables never sound like a good idea when it comes to bursting cravings, but you can bring a new definition to it with the addition of cheese. Just place the veggies of your choice in a baking tray and load it with cheese all over. Then bake the veggies and as vegetables roast, the cheese develops a flavourful charr and creepiness.
4) Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of the favourite dishes for people of all ages. In this, cheese is sandwiched between two slices of bread and toasted on a pan from both sides with some butter. As the slices get crispy, the cheese starts to melt and when you rip it apart, you’ll witness some delicious frills of cheese coming out.
5) Cheese Pastries
Have puff pastry at home? Use it to make some flaky cheese pastries! All you have to do is fill cheese inside puff pastry sheets, wrap it up and deep fry, oven bake or air fry to make yourself this delightful treat. Optionally you can include some veggies too.
6) Cheese Muffins
Cheese muffins are made by placing grated cheese in a muffin tray and topping it with any vegetables, spices, herbs or egg. Then it is baked until all the ingredients are cooked and well incorporated. You can go with cheese directly if you are a true cheese lover.
7) Mozzarella Sticks
Chop some cheese into sticks, roll it in batter and bread crumbs, then fry to crispy golden perfection. It is all it takes to make some cafe-style mozzarella sticks at home. Despite “mozzarella” in his name, you can use any cheese available at your home to make this.
