Description

Cheese Puffs are fluffy, cheesy treats that are easy to make and perfect for snacking.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add this mixture to the cheese and flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a twist, try adding cooked and crumbled bacon or chopped herbs like chives or parsley to the dough for extra flavor.
  • You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder taste.
