CHEESE BITES (TOTALLY ADDICTIVE)



Cheese Bites (Totally Addictive) image

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 36 bites

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
Kosher salt
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 or 3 mini-muffin pans with liners, and coat the liners generously with cooking spray.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the macaroni and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain again and shake off any excess water.
  • Put the heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs, mustard, paprika and garlic in a large bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until combined (the mixture may have small lumps). Add the macaroni, Cheddar and Monterey jack, and stir until combined.
  • Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mac 'n' cheese into the prepared muffin liners. Combine the breadcrumbs and butter with your fingers in a small bowl until the mixture is the texture of wet sand. Sprinkle the top of each mac 'n' cheese mound with the buttered breadcrumbs.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and the bites are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature. Serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin tin or mini tart pan to create uniform and evenly-sized bites.
  • Chill the dough before baking to prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Don't overfill the dough cups, as the filling will expand during baking.
  • Use a variety of fillings, such as different types of cheese, meats, vegetables, and sauces, to create a variety of flavors.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin or mini tart pan, you can also use a regular baking sheet and shape the dough into small rounds.
  • Serve the bites hot or cold, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:

Tiny Meat and Cheese Bites are delicious and easy-to-make appetizers that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover meat and cheese. With a variety of fillings to choose from, you can create bites that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give Tiny Meat and Cheese Bites a try.
