3-Ingredient Mexican Cheese Bites

Recipe Description

3-Ingredient Mexican Cheese Bites are so simple and so addicting. Crusty caramelized top, scrumptious, soft cheesy inside, and a green salsa kick, this three-ingredient appetizer is a real crowd-pleaser. These cheesy bites are the perfect snack to make for a game day, party, or family get-together. Just mix, bake, and eat! 

This recipe easily comes together using just one small bowl and a baking dish. Spread half of the grated Cheddar cheese in a baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the green salsa and beaten eggs. Drizzle the egg mixture over the cheese and bake. Bonus for this recipe: Baking instead of frying makes this appetizer healthier than the usual cheese bites. Who could resist that?

To make the 3-Ingredient Mexican Cheese Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
