Spicy Jalapeño Cheese Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 big fresh jalapeño chili.
02 -
1 cup grated strong cheddar cheese.
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 350°F. Put some parchment on a baking tray so your treats won't stick.
02 -
Take out the seeds from the jalapeño while wearing gloves to keep your hands safe, then cut it into skinny circles.
03 -
Drop tablespoon-sized piles of grated cheese onto your lined tray, making 16 little heaps.
04 -
Lightly flatten each cheese pile with your fingertips, leaving space between them as they'll spread out.
05 -
Set one jalapeño ring right in the middle of each cheese pile for a spicy kick.
06 -
Pop them in the oven until they turn a rich golden color, about 12 minutes.
07 -
Let them sit and harden on the tray for a minute or two before moving them to a plate with a small spatula.

Always use gloves when cutting jalapeños to avoid burning your hands.
