Popped Cheese Bites
These cheesy bites are the perfect one ingredient, clean-eating, gluten-free and keto friendly snack that can be made right at home in your oven!
Ingredients
- 4 oz cheese ((block, not shredded. Use any hard or semi-hard cheese of your choosing. Cheddar is highly recommended))
Directions
- 1
Cut the cheese into small cubes (approx. 1x1 cm or 0.5"x0.5") and set them onto a parchment-lined baking tray, being sure to leave space between each one so they don't melt into one mass.
- 2
Bake the cheese cubes for 65-75 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 175°F to draw as much of the moisture out of the cheese as possible.
- 3
After 65-75 minutes, raise the heat to 300°F for a few minutes until the cheese pieces "pop" and/or puff up. Do not leave and walk away from it at this point. When some of the cheese pieces starts to brown slightly and most have popped, remove the tray from oven and let cool completely.

Store in the fridge or at room temperature in airtight container or Ziploc bag.
