A savory biscuit is just the thing for a drinks and nibbles party, or as a delicious starter for when friends visit and these are really easy to whip up. Who needs more of an excuse to bake up a batch of these wonderful Cheese Bites.

Herzhaftes Käsegebäck ist genau das Richtige als Knabberei für nebenbei, für Partys oder als kleine Vorspeise. Sie sind wirklich einfach zuzubereiten. Da braucht man eigentlich gar keinen besonderen Grund, um schnell ein paar von diesen Käsegebäckwürfeln zu backen. |

Zubereitung der Käsewürfel

The Cheese Bites are definitely best eaten the same day. However, they will keep for a day or two in a cookie tin. If you plan on making them a day in advance, you should re-heat them on the baking sheet in a pre-heated oven for 5 to 10 minutes until they are warm and fragrant.
As far as the cheese is concerned, I like using a well adged Gouda ("Noord-Hollandse Gouda - 48+") from the Netherlands - it lends a wonderful strong flavor to the Cheese Bites and a nice, rich color as well. You could also substitue a mature Cheddar cheese. Just make sure to adjust the amount of salt according to which cheese you choose. Enjoy! |
Das Käsegebäck schmeckt natürlich am besten am selben Tag. Aber es hält sich auch für ein oder zwei Tage in einer Keksdose. Wenn man das Gebäck einen Tage vorher backt, sollte man es auf einem Backblech in dem vorgeheizten Ofen für 5 bis 10 Minuten im Ofen solange aufbacken, bis es warm und duftend ist. Was die Wahl des Käses angeht, so nehme ich gerne einen überjährigen Gouda aus den Niederlanden ("Noord-Hollandse Gouda - 48+") - seine Würze und natürliche Farbe kommt ganz besonders gut in diesem Gebäck zur Geltung. Man kann den Gouda aber auch mit Cheddar ersetzen. Man sollte aber auf jeden Fall daran denken, die Salzmenge abhängig von der Käsesorte zu machen. Viel Spaß beim Nachbacken! |
These look dangerous. I'd gobble them all up in an instant! xo
ReplyDeleteDear Colette, dangerous they are - impossible to eat just one. If the smell while they are baking did not get you, the taste most certainly will.
DeleteWhy does everything sound so much more fun in German. I love that word - Käsegebäckwürfel, so much more interesting and with more character than "cheese bites" :) BTW, they look wonderful, probably perfect with a good German beer!
ReplyDeleteChris, because German is such a "fun" language - seriously, to me, everything in Germand sounds more complicated than in English but I still love that language, of course. And these Käsegebäckwürfel do taste wonderful with German beer or wine or juice and some fruit too.
DeleteI am having friends over for dinner tomorrow and I think these would be a lovely and delicious first course to serve! You can't go wrong with cheese!
ReplyDeleteMonet, you most certainly cannot go wrong with cheese - these biscuits smell wonderful while baking and taste even better when enjoyed while still warm from the oven. I certainly hope that you will have a fun evening with your friends and maybe even get a chance to bake these - if so, please let me know whether you liked them.
DeleteHello

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment - I will hop over to your blog now!
DeleteWir sind eingeladen, ich werde die Kaesegebaeckwuerfel backen, ab ins Cellophantütchen, eine Flasche Wein dazu.... perfekt :-) Seit wir hier an der Ostkueste leben, ist der extra sharp Cheddar aus Vermont mein absoluter Lieblingskäse... vielleicht versuche ich sie auch mit Kümmel...
ReplyDeleteAndrea, es passt so gar nicht zu den Kaesegebaeckwuerfeln, aber schau dir mal diesen Link an: http://houseonthehill.net , falls du ihn noch nicht kennst, bin ich mir sicher, er wird dir gefallen :-) einen ganz lieben Gruss!
Liebe Wally, lieben Dank für deinen Kommentar - Kümmel hört sich immer gut auf Käsegebäck an. Und eine Flasche Wein dazu - also ein perfektes Gastgeschenk! Und der Cheddar (extra sharp) ist in der Tat ein wunderbarer Käse und eignet sich ausgezeichnet für Käsegebäck. Lieben Dank auch für den Link zu houseonthehill - ich habe mir den schon öfter angeguckt, in der Tat wahnsinnig schön.
DeleteGanz herzliche Grüße aus Bonn!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will be making them for Thanksgiving:)
ReplyDeleteGeraldine, thanks so much - if you get a chance to make these, please do let me know how they turned out.
DeleteLOL!!! Laughing at Chris comment above it true!! The words do sound like so much fun in German!! This is a great little app!!! Sounds pretty stress free to make!!
ReplyDeleteYou two - the word is a pretty darn funny word and so are many others in the German language, funny, long and complicated too! Thanks so much for the comment - this is a stress-free recipe indeed!
DeleteThese look perfect for a party!! Love good cheese and I bet these are delicious. My children love these cheese bites and snacks and it's nice to have a quick recipe for them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just recently started learning German, just because I've always wanted to, and iI'm happy to see German version next to the English, helps me practice a bit :). I'm still very much a beginner so when I get better I will try and leave my comment in German :)
Nazneen
Dear Nazeen, what a delightful idea - comments in German from you would be quite wonderful. A quick recipe for cheese bites is always welcome as my kids also really enjoy snacking on them and somehow it seems that I never make enough. I double the recipe usually and then we are fine for a few hours...
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!

DeleteThese do look like the perfect party food. I have been looking for white spelt flour here and have not yet found any. I will keep trying because it sounds so good! Bis später! ~ David
ReplyDeleteDear David, these cheese bites do make indeed perfect party food - just not at our house - they were gone before any party could even be planned - just way too many taste testers, I guess or just have to make more of these next time!
Deletei can barely smells the fragrance of the cheese when you pop that out from the oven!
ReplyDeletesuperb.....
