Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the shredded cheese into a rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the onion rings in a single layer over the cheese. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes, or until sturdy enough to handle.

Roll the wrap tightly. Transfer it to a clean sheet of parchment paper and wrap it snugly to help hold its shape.

#ad Summer break is here, which means I hear “Mom, I’m hungry” about 47 times a day 😂 So I started making these simple snack boards with @familytreefarms blueberries and stone fruit, plus a few easy staples like cheese, crackers, vegetables, and deli meat. You can prep it ahead of time, put it out, and let everyone dig in. It’s a fun and easy way to get more whole foods on their plates without overthinking it. ☀️🫐🍑 What snacks are on repeat at your house this summer? #FamilyTreeFarms #snackboard #summertime #kidsfood taken in Indianapolis, Indiana by @megsescapades
