Chorizo Cheese Bombs

These three-ingredient bites are the ultimate party trick: minimal effort, maximum payoff. Spicy crumbled chorizo melts together with mozzarella and Parmesan into little golden mounds—crispy at the edges, gooey in the center, and bursting with bold flavor. Inspired by Spanish and Mexican chorizo traditions, the sausage’s seasoning does most of the heavy lifting, so you don’t need a long ingredient list.

- Straight from the oven on a foil-lined tray or warm platter.
- Pair with cool, crunchy sides like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or radishes.

- Drinks: crisp lager, dry cider, or sparkling water with citrus to cut through the richness.
🔥 Low-Carb Chorizo Cheese Bombs
🧀 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spicy chorizo sausage (Mexican-style) | 8 oz | Casings removed if linked |
| Mozzarella cheese, shredded | 1 ½ cups | Low-moisture |
| Parmesan cheese, finely grated | ½ cup | Adds sharpness |
👩🍳 Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease.
- Cook chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook until browned (≈6–8 minutes). Drain excess fat, leaving a light coating. Cool 5 minutes.
- Mix: Combine warm chorizo, mozzarella, and Parmesan in a bowl. Stir until thick and sticky.
- Shape: Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Compact gently so they hold together.
- Bake: 10–14 minutes, until edges are golden, tops bubbly, and reddish-orange bits appear. Check at 10 minutes, add time if needed.
- Cool & serve: Rest 5–7 minutes on the tray to firm up. Loosen with a spatula and transfer to a platter—or serve straight from the tray while warm and melty.
✨ Bold, cheesy, and bite-sized—these bombs prove that three ingredients can deliver a knockout snack.
