Roth Cheese recently launched a new line of circular 3/4 ounce cheeses that are absolutely perfect for snacking. Do you know what else they’re perfect for though? Getting breaded in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, so they can be deep fried and used as slider buns!
I’ve done something similar before with full-size burgers and much larger wheels of cheese, and although I thought that the larger version was absolutely amazing I can also understand how that might be too much cheese for some people.
If you want a similar experience though — or if you’re just looking for a really cool appetizer idea — these Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Breaded Cheese Bun Sliders are great! Plus, if you want more cheese all you have to do is eat six of them like I did!
Roth’s Snack Cheeses come in three different varieties — Cheddar, Gouda and mozzarella. I used Cheddar and Gouda for my sliders, but all three would work perfectly since all three cheeses have pretty low melting points. I actually think that it would be really cool to use the mozzarella ones for pizza burger sliders. In fact, I think I’ll make those later this week!
