Cheesy-Seedy Bark
Updated: Mar 15, 2020

When Friday nights roll along, I look forward to a cocktail and a nibble on the side. While it's hard to resist a platter of cheese and crackers, sometimes I'm looking for something a little healthier. Cheesy-Seedy Bark is the answer. I mixed Asiago cheese and a variety of seeds and baked the mixture in the oven. Once cooled, I had a wonderfully flavored snack. The cheese, along with the mixed nutty taste of all of the seeds, is delicious. The best part is that this is a make-ahead treat, so it's ready when you're ready.
Ingredients for Cheesy-Seedy Bark:
5 ounces of Asiago cheese, shredded
4 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
4 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons flax seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Time-Saving Tip: Prepare the bark a day in advance, so it completely cools and hardens.
Let's see what we need.
We're ready to cook.
Combine the ingredients.
Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Try to make it smooth on the top and flatten it. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. If you have a cooling rack, slide the bark on the rack to cool. The bark is great when made a day in advance.

It's ready! Cheesy-Seedy Bark is a deliciously easy snack to prepare. It's perfect with cocktails and for nibbling throughout the day.
Enjoy!
