Ingredients for Bbq Cheese Fingers

  • Bread
  • Cheez Whiz
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Aluminum Foil

How to Make Bbq Cheese Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, garlic powder (optional), and hot pepper flakes (optional). Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into finger-shaped pieces.
  6. For baking: Place the cheese fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  7. For pan-frying: Add a tablespoon of butter or oil to the skillet. Cook cheese fingers for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
