These cheesy bites are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. You can make the logs ahead of time, but slice and bake just before serving.—Deirdre Dee Cox, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Cheese Grater Cleanup

When grating blocks of cheese, I spray the grater with nonstick cooking spray. The grated cheese seems to flow right off, and there’s a lot less waste. Cleanup is a breeze, too. —Rochelle Hoover, Rapid City, South Dakota
