Oh YUM! Raspberry Cheddar Breakfast Bars
Author: Kristin Schell
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup raspberry jam
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together cheese, butter, and sugar. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Mixture will be dry and crumbly.
- Place half the dough in the bottom of a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish. Press dough gently with fingertips to form a crust. Cover the dough generously with raspberry jam. Sprinkle remaining dough on top.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the breakfast bars are slightly browned. Cut into squares and serve with morning coffee.
