Cheese Bread Bites – shaped anyway you like. These simple chees-y triangles are ready in just 30 minutes. They are made from a simple homemade cheese dough with pantry ingredients (like flour, cheese and butter). Baked in the oven, they are ideal for breakfast or brunch, gatherings, potlucks, parties and receptions.
These homemade cheese bread bites are irresistibly delicious and perfect for children. I’ve often debated what to call them, as they are wonderfully versatile—equally suited as an appetizer (some friends enjoy them with a cold beer), as homemade party fare alongside a cheese platter, or as part of a breakfast or brunch spread.
I particularly enjoy involving my children in the preparation (see video below), which makes the process even more special. The dough can be shaped in any way you like, and the holes ala ‘Dutch cheese’ add a playful, fun touch to the finished bites.
Ingredients § Substitutions:
- Flour – type 00 (Italian fine flour) or all purpose flour
- Butter – melted
- Yellow cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) – that melts well during baking
