- ½ teaspoon dried dill optional
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese into small mounds on the baking sheet, spacing them several inches apart.
- Flatten each mound slightly and sprinkle with dried dill or black pepper if using.

- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.

Notes
Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting and crisping. Let bites cool briefly so they firm up before removing.
