Once confined to Spanish bars, tapas<\/a> have taken over the world. Traditional versions of the small plates sometimes contain cheese, but not always. (Don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019ve got you.) Here, we\u2019ve riffed on a few favorites (pan con tomate<\/em>, patatas bravas<\/em>, gambas al ajillo<\/em>, aceitunas ali\u00f1adas<\/em>, alb\u00f3ndigas<\/em>) by adding curds and simplifying preparations for American home cooks. Truly, tapas are the perfect summer food; every one of the following recipes takes under 30 minutes to prepare, and none require turning on your oven for more than 5 minutes. So pour some sangria and start planning your al fresco fiesta. Salud<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Five Recipes for a Summer Tapas Spread<\/h2>\n

\"smashed
\nSmashed Tomato Toasts Topped with Garrotxa<\/a><\/h3>\n

A cheesy twist on pan con tomate<\/em> these simple bites strike just the right balance of sweet, salty, and earthy. <\/p>\n

\"olives
\nCheese-Stuffed Olives<\/a><\/h3>\n

Stuffed olives are a crowd pleaser that fit many diets. Our version is gussied up with a seasoned two-cheese blend and tossed in a bright, herbal marinade.<\/p>\n

\"baked
\nBaked Garlic Shrimp with Cotija and Herbs<\/a><\/h3>\n

Gambas al ajillo<\/em> is one rich tapa\u2014here, we\u2019ve added zippy cotija to cut the oily mouthfeel. <\/p>\n

\"crispy<\/p>\n

Crispy Fingerling Potatoes with Cheese Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

Patatas bravas<\/em> are one of the most ubiquitous bar snacks. We’ve paired them with creamy cheese dip in place of the traditional aioli.<\/p>\n

\"meatballs<\/p>\n

Cheese-Stuffed Meatballs with Smoky Tomato Sauce<\/a><\/h3>\n

 A queso-filled version of alb\u00f3ndigas<\/em>, these hearty mouthfuls are top-notch party food. <\/p>\n
