Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside in a small bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic clove.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden brown.
Place small mounds of grated cheddar cheese, about 1 tablespoon each, onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Top each cheese mound with a few capers and a sprinkle of the toasted breadcrumb mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with slightly crisp edges.
Allow the Cheese Capers to cool on the tray for 2 minutes before carefully transferring them to a serving plate using a spatula.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, savory bites!
