A Cheesy Garlic Bite typically refers to a small, savory snack that combines the rich flavors of cheese and garlic. It’s often made from dough, cheese, and garlic seasoning, baked to golden perfection. Here’s a basic recipe you can try to make your own cheesy garlic bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 can of pizza dough (or homemade dough)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Dough: If using pizza dough, roll it out into a rectangular or square shape. Cut it into small squares (about 1-2 inches each) using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic (or garlic powder) and Italian seasoning.
- Assemble the Bites: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to form a little pouch or bite.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Place each cheese-filled dough ball on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Finishing Touches: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce on the side.
These cheesy garlic bites are perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or a side dish to accompany pizza!
