Cheddar cheese bites are a great little appetizer that can be made in advance of a party. Perfect to serve with cocktails or wine for an at-home happy hour after a long week.

Cheddar cheese bites are the perfect happy hour bite. Made with Cabot cheese and butter.

Soft and pillowy on top with a crispy bottom these Cheddar cheese bites are one of my favorite things to serve with cocktails. It’s a recipe I sometimes forget about but have served many times when entertaining.

I rarely make it just for us but that’s going to change. Especially since Cabot was so generous with their shredded cheese selection.

I used the 4 Cheese Mexican Blend this time but I know the Bacon Cheddar, Fiery Jack, Two State Farmers and any of the sharp Cheddars would all be delicious.

Cheddar cheese bites are the perfect happy hour bite.

Every time I serve these Cheddar cheese bites they are a hit. I often get asked for the recipe. To be honest I can’t remember when or where I got this recipe. It’s on a handwritten recipe card that has been with me for more than 25 years.

I’ve actually made a few extra copies of it so it doesn’t get lost. What I love about this recipe is it can be made in advance. You can freeze the pre-made balls for up to one month making them perfect for a brunch, New Year’s Eve, or any holiday entertaining. Who doesn’t love to plan ahead? Plus you can keep them in the freezer when unexpected guests drop in.
