- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes
- If you prefer a milder version, you can skip the cayenne pepper or use a milder salsa instead of Rotel.
- These bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge before baking for a quicker prep.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top before baking.
