Baked Cheese Twists {Perfect With Soups and Salads}

 These baked cheese twists are so tasty and make the perfect addition to any soup!

One of our favorite (and totally easy meals) is tomato soup and grilled cheese. My kids either like both or one of the two so it’s something we can all enjoy and it makes it super nice for me. Instead of our typical grilled cheese, I wanted to try something new that everyone would like.

My kids love cheese and they love bread and crackers so I decided to try to bake something that would serve as a toast type addition to our soup. This is how baked cheese twists were discovered!

The cheese twists took a few minutes to prep but then the rest was done in the oven. This was great because once these hit the oven I made the soup and everything was ready at the same time.

Another great thing about these baked cheese twists is that they are great for school lunches or just to snack on!

My family loved these so we didn’t have any leftover in the next few days 🙂
