Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar works wonderfully
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese and melted butter, stirring well to blend.
  3. Crush the pork rinds into small pieces and add them to the cheese mixture.
  4. Season the mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Use your hands to form small balls or place small mounds of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Notes

For the best taste, use high-quality cheese; aged varieties tend to add more flavor. Leftover pork rinds can be used as a crunchy topping for salads or soups. Consider experimenting with spices like cayenne pepper or Italian herbs for a different flavor profile.
