Hello! What I am sharing you today is a recipe from my aunt Nida. I admit my aunt has a big contribution on my interest for baking that soon became a passion. So I’d like to thank my aunt for sharing this recipe to me. 🙂 . This recipe is loved by my Filipino friends here in Ireland especially cheese lovers (; . I couldn’t find a single post about cheese bars here in the internet so I decided to put it in my blog.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 can condensed milk
1 egg
2 cups white sugar
1/2 bar grated cheese
1/2 bar grated cheese (for toppings)
1 cup butter at room temperature
PROCEDURE:
1. Preheat oven at 165’C.
2. Sift flour and baking powder. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, condensed milk & grated cheese.
4.Pour the flour mixture gradually until well blended.
5.Spread the mixture in greased baking pan.Put the remaining grated cheese for toppings. Bake at moderate heat until golden brown or done.
Note: I used 10x15x2 non-stick baking sheet and bake it for 25-30 minutes.

Hi! Thanks for sharing this recipe.. You are right, there are no other recipes on the net for CHEESE BARS… I’ve been searching for a long time… I did this and it is really delicious…… baked it for 40 minutes but I prefer it to be harder so I guess I’ll bake it longer and also maybe lessen the sugar to 1 1/2…. also, I used 2 bars of EDEN Regular cheese because I love cheese! Anyway, I think this recipe is perfect, just customize it according to your liking!!!! will be making this again tonight with lesser sugar…….
