My Funny Aperitif with my Gruyère Lollipops at 3 Cents!
While some people like anise lollipops, we at home prefer gruyere.
Funny as you wish, they amuse the children and amaze the elders.
Friday night is a happy hour with the family and, with my Gruyère lollipops, we share moments of complicity that delight young and old.
My ingredients for 4 gourmets
- 1 sachet of grated Gruyere of 100 g (for about 20 lollipops)
- Spikes, toothpick style.
How to do
Preparation: 15 min - Cooking: 5 min
1. I preheat my oven to 180 °.
2. On the baking sheet of my oven, I place a sheet of baking paper.
3. I put small heaps of Gruyere on top of it and flatten it out a bit to give them a round shape.
4. I place my pick in the middle of my mix and cover it with a little cheese to keep it in place.
5. I cook for 5 minutes: the cheese should be melted, but not toasted.
6. I take my baking sheet out of the oven and let my lollipops cool for a few minutes so that the cheese hardens.
7. I gently peel off the lollipops with a spatula.
Results
There you go, your Gruyère aperitif lollipops are already ready :-)
My bonus tip
How about flavoring our lollipops with Gruyère?
While children generally prefer them plain, adults will be delighted to garnish them with various spices: turmeric, curry, cumin, pepper or even mustard and cinnamon.
I just have to sprinkle my lollipops before putting them in the oven and voila.
Likewise, I sometimes combine my grated Gruyère cheese with a little Parmesan to enhance the taste of my cheese. A delicious alliance!
A very small cost
- 100 g of grated Gruyère: at 6.33 € per kilo, i.e. 0.63 €
Either a Gruyère lollipop costing me € 0.03 or a score of € 0.63. Difficult to prepare a more economical aperitif!
