A delightful and easy-to-make snack combining the savory flavors of cheese, bacon, and a hint of mustard.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped bacon, grated cheese, diced onion, and self-raising flour.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the mustard is evenly distributed.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
Spoon tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Let the bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Serve with a side of sour cream or a tangy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
