1 pinch of salt
1 egg

1 cup all-purpose flour
(substitute with corn flour for a gluten-free version)

Butter for greasing the pan

Mozzarella offers the perfect stretch, while cheddar brings bold flavor. Mix them for the best of both worlds!

Instructions

1. Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl:

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded cheese.
Mix thoroughly so that the cheese is evenly distributed.

2. Incorporate the Liquids

Add in the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Don’t overwork it — just enough to bring everything together.

Want to spice it up? Add a pinch of garlic powder, chopped herbs, or chili flakes to the dough.

3. Shape the Bread

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.
You can also shape one large round if desired.

4. Cook in a Skillet

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease it with a bit of butter.
Add the dough discs and cover the pan with a lid to retain heat.
Cook each side for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve Hot

Remove from the skillet and serve warm with:

- More melted cheese on top
- A dab of butter
- A drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory twist

Best enjoyed fresh off the skillet — melty, toasty, and cheesy perfection!

Serving Ideas

Pair your cheese skillet bread with:

Soup or stew like creamy broccoli cheese soup
A green salad for a balanced lunch
Scrambled eggs and avocado for a high-protein breakfast

Tips & Variations

Flavor Boosters

Add fresh herbs like parsley or oregano.
Mix in finely chopped jalapeños for a spicy version.

Cheese Variations

Use gouda, Monterey Jack, or even blue cheese for a twist.
For lactose-free: opt for plant-based cheese alternatives.

Gluten-Free Option

Swap wheat flour for corn flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix.

Want a crispier crust?

Use a cast-iron skillet and let each side cook a little longer on medium-low.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

Yes! Store the dough wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Can I freeze it?

Cooked cheese breads freeze well. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a hot skillet or oven.

Can I bake this instead?

Absolutely. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes if you prefer an oven-baked version.
