Cooking Tips

• Use a firm cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gouda.
• For extra flavor, add herbs or spices to the breadcrumb mixture, such as garlic powder, paprika, or dried oregano.
• If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
• To make the cheese cubes extra crispy, you can double coat them by dipping them in the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture again.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.

Storage and Serving

• Toasted cheese cubes are best served warm and fresh from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the cubes on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the toasted cheese cubes as an appetizer at parties, game nights, or movie nights.
• They are also great for snacking on their own or dipping in marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
