Cheddar Butter Bean Bites – delicious cheesy bites, perfect for dipping, snacking, picnics or lunches.
This was a last minute throw together that worked perfectly and is not a regular rotation for lunches.
In fact, these were not even planned, I had grabbed a tin out of the pantry thinking it was sweetcorn, didn’t pay much attention opened the can only to realise it was actually butter beans.
Not wanting to waste them, I grabbed a few other ingredients I had on hand, formed them into patties, popped in the oven and voila – these Cheddar Butter Bean Bites were the result.
They were so yummy I had to go and buy some more butter beans so I could make them again.

I have just tried to make these for the first time. I followed the recipe to the tee but 8 minutes into the cooking time they have all spread into one mass.
Any idea why ??
hmmm they shouldn’t of done that, did you drain them fully? As it sounds like the mixture was too wet and there is nothing in the ingredients that would cause that.
I made these last night to have with soup at
lunchtime and as always they tasted great !
so glad you enjoyed them Jane, I love them with soup.
Can I substitute the mustard for anything else as I really don’t like the taste of mustard. Thank you in advance
Hi Steph, just omit it shouldn’t make too much difference,
I made these tonight & they smelt delicious. Unfortunately they have ended up really dry & taste almost “floury”. Any ideas?
Thank you
What cheese did you use? Was it already grated stuff in a bag? If so you need to avoid using that kind of cheese as it is usually coated to prevent it from sticking together and doesn’t melt as good. That is the only thing I can think of.
Superb!
Made them today. I wanted to eat them immediately but my wife said, “Don’t even try it mate”.
She wants me to make another batch ASAP. The only thing l find hard to do is make the patties even as l had keep taking pieces of each of them to make them them an even size. Besides that, what a lovely simple recipe. Thank you.
Made these for group taster and they were a massive hit with everyone. So tasty and so easy to make. Thanks for this little treat which is so much like a cheese scone! X
These have become a regular in my house. I have to put them in the food processor though haha you must be a mean masher. Thanks again!
Made the butterbean bites today, they are delish! I used parmesan instead of low fat cheddar, very tasty. Will be making these again for sure.
Do these freeze well? Or do they break apart when you take them out? I’m only cooking for me so I don’t want them to go to waste!
I know many have frozen these and have said they are fine, but I personally prefer them fresh.
Hi Siobhan
Have made them for first time today.absolutly beautiful.but what’s the best way to keep them for tomorrow how long do they keep?
I keep them in a tub in the fridge and warm up before serving, should keep for about 3 days.
