These Cheese Fingers with Spicy Tomato Relish is so versatile it’s something you can serve to your kids as a snack at home or as their baon in school (just omit the paprika and harissa for them).

I guarantee you this will be a big hit to both kids and adults alike, as who does not love hot and melted cheese after all?!
