An easy, delicious little canape that can be made months in advance and stored in the freezer. Just pull out as many as you need and bake them as you need them.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add Dijon and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low.
Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Add grated cheddar and stir until melted. Turn off heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fold in egg whites.
Dunk bread cubes in cheese, coating thoroughly. Place on a nonstick baking mat or sheet of waxed paper and freeze for 20 minutes, uncovered. Remove frozen chunks from tray and place into a Ziploc bag. Store in the freezer.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place frozen cheese puffs on a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper, and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

I made these this weekend and they were divine! Mine weren’t very pretty, but they tasted great. I also had a little trouble getting the cooled cheese mixture to coat the bread cubes well. Toward the end I just used my fingers to press it on the bread really well. Also, maybe I was coating them too thick, but I only used about half (or less) of the loaf of bread.

Made these for a little gathering last night…prepped them the night before and then just popped them in the oven 15 minutes before serving time…easy easy easy yet quite tasty.

While these were a bit more labor intensive than I expected, they were totally worth the work. It is also quite possible that I took the dipping process way too seriously. I did each one individually, which took a while.
SO GOOD!

Made these on New Years Eve. Very easy and fast to make. It was something different than the usual appetizers. If the bread cubes are coated really well, people just try to figure out what makes them oh so puffy.
