Golden Cheese Crunch Bites
Golden Cheese Crunch Bites are a crispy, cheesy treat perfect for any occasion. This simple recipe delivers a savory snack with bold flavor and crunch in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs panko for extra crunch
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare Cheese Mixture
- I grate 2 cups cheddar and mix with ½ cup flour and optional spices (½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp black pepper) in a bowl for this simple recipe.
Shape Bites
- I beat 2 eggs in a shallow bowl, form small balls from the cheese mixture, and dip each in egg to coat for these cheesy snack bites.
Coat with Breadcrumbs
- I roll each egg-coated ball in 1 cup breadcrumbs for a crunchy layer in these crispy cheese bites.
Cook Bites
- I heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat, add bites in batches without overcrowding, and cook 3–5 minutes per side until golden for this savory snack.
Drain and Serve
- I drain bites on a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm for this Golden Cheese Crunch Bites.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and richer flavor.
- Cook bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure an even golden crust.
- Chill shaped bites for 15 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
- Adjust breadcrumb type to your preference: panko for extra crunch or fine crumbs for a smoother coating.
- Serve immediately to maintain crispiness; reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crunch.
