CHEESE BITES (TOTALLY ADDICTIVE)
Ridiculously addictive appetizers. I brought them to a party and everyone attacked them like starving piranha on a cow. I included them in a tin of cookies for my hubby's co-workers and one of them ate all of them before anyone else could try them. She also demanded the recipe. From the cookbook "Fix, Freeze, Feast" by Katie Neville and Lindsey Tkacsik. Make them ahead of time, keep in your freezer and bake what you need. I plan to have these on hand all the time.

FRUIT AND CHEESE BITES
This recipe was from Family Circle Magazine Dec. 2009. It was considered to be a healthy recipe choice for those having parties with lots of food and drink. I made them for a meeting and they were a hit. I think you have to serve them with other things because despite being healthy they are a bit rich. I like them as a great alternative to the usual cheese ball. The nuts give it crunch and the two cheeses with the three fruits was very unique. This is not for someone who doesn't like cheese though. Perfect for the holidays, New Year's parties or anytime you need a no cook appetizer. Enjoy! ChefDLH

Steps:
- Sift the flour and a little salt into a bowl. Set a non-stick pan on the heat with 150ml cold water and the chopped butter. Bring to the boil, stirring until the butter melts. Tip in all the flour and, using a wooden spoon, beat hard until the mix becomes smooth and starts to leave the side of the pan.
- Remove from the heat, beat in the gruyère and half the parmesan and cool for 5 mins. Gradually beat in the eggs until you have a smooth, thick, but spoonable mix - you may not need all the egg. Can be set aside now for 2 hrs without chilling.
- When ready to serve, heat the oil in a deep-fat frying pan to around 180C. Using 2 teaspoons scoop up neat dollops and carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry 6-8 dollops a time for 3-4 mins until golden and crisp - dunk the dollops under to brown evenly. Reheat the oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cheese. The better the cheese, the better the cheese bites will be. Look for cheeses that are flavorful and have a good melting quality, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- Grate the cheese finely. This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
- Use a combination of cheeses. This will give the cheese bites a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add other ingredients to the cheese mixture. This could include things like cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, chopped vegetables, or herbs. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Coat the cheese bites in bread crumbs or panko breadcrumbs. This will help them stay crispy when they're baked or fried.
- Bake or fry the cheese bites until they're golden brown and melted. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.
- Serve the cheese bites immediately. They're best when they're hot and gooey.
Conclusion:
Cheese bites are a quick and easy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a cheese bite recipe that everyone will love.
